Terri,

Dielt Pills, of ANY type, FDA approved or not simply do not work because you do not deal with the real problem...diet pills are a temporary 'patch' to the real problem at hand. Weight loss can only be acheived with:
Control - over:
portions
frequency of meals
types of meals
conscious choices of what one eats
excercise
H2O = hydration - water
etc
Bad news yes, but truth is that only this works!
