Reuters - The first of three new fat-fighting pills faces public scrutiny by U.S. Regulatory advisers next week, as small biotechs target the growing number of obese Americans despite a checkered past for weight-loss drugs.

With weight loss being a billion dollar business in the USA I would not be surprised to see more and more so called weight loss pills to show up. I think if a prescription weight loss pill is approved in the USA again it will be widely used and we will start to see if there are any real dangerous side effects. I know I will not use any drug. I still believe in the simpler formula of more output vs less input equals weight loss.
The problem with these drugs is the side effects. Yeah you might lose weight but will have to deal with depression, always being light headed, easily angered, irrational choice making, and the list goes on. Too much negative for one positive, I think.
People eat junk food which is already bad for health and then search for this kind of solution to lose weight! There are so many side effects to these drugs and that's only what we know as there might be some long term consequences which won't be discovered for now so it's a big No for me!
Eat healthier, Exercise more often and more importantly don't care about other's opinions. As long as you are healthy and satisfied with yourself you could care less about people's judgment for they will always find something to criticize!
