I had a horrible run with diet pills in high school, lo these many years ago. I dunno if they've come up with anything better in the intervening decades, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
In my experience, diet pills range from "do nothing but you're wired 24/7" to "do nothing and poop constantly" to "just do nothing."
I am actually in the middle of trying to lose some weight prior to getting surgery, and what seems to help so far is cutting carbs from here to hell and back, adding more protein, way more fresh veggies, and drinking more water than you would ever believe possible. Haven't lost a lot, but I am losing something, and for me, that is a minor miracle.
