It will also decrease appetite which will in turn reduce her calorie intake even further, so by the time she goes off the duromine her metabolism will be ******.

Though I'm not a doctor so I'll let him be the guide... He thinks it will be a good idea so we'll give it a go...
Hopefully the Doctor has also given a referral to a nutritionist to then facilitate the correct course of action once the prescription has run its course?
Given the failure of diet and exercise, I'd be looking for an opinion from an Endocrinologist before taking an amphetamine related stimulant that can be addictive... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phentermine
Some people just need to do more vigorous exercise to burn fat. I recomend she starts running the 9k instead of walking it. Start with small distances though and slowly increase no more than 10% distance at a time up to the 9k or further. The weight will fall off.
Mrs HH3s doctor put her on Duramine about 4 weeks ago. Two days in, she was in the hospital with chest pains, accelerated heart rate and trouble breathing.
She was in and out of hospital for a week while the Duramine wore off.
Also, her anxiety added to the problem, because she was having attacks while she already couldn't breath.
For some reason I think Mrs Jase has some sort of anxiety problems. I think Jase has mentioned it before. Could be wrong.

That is correct, she does struggle with Anxiety, however the Duromine has had no effect on her with regards to that at all... So we have been lucky in that respect.
She is losing weight at a reasonable sort of pace so she is happy about that as well...
