Qsymia (phentermine + topiramate) is used together with diet and exercise to treat obesity. Any regular MD in your area should be able to prescribe this for you. So it may just be a matter of changing doctors if your current physician doesn't agree with its use.

Did you happen to ask him why he didn't believe in it? Perhaps a more straight answer from him would help you make a more informed decision when it comes to considering this medication. All I'm saying is that he must have a good reason to not want to prescribe it for his patients.

Topiramate and Phentermine both list some very undesirable side effects, and I can only assume that this may be why he doesn't want you taking it.

More on side effects can be found here:

I hope this info helps!
