Everybody has had a “blues” moment at one time or another. Clinical depression, which can affect 19 millions Americans every year, can leave you feeling helpless, hopeless, and sad. While many people are helped by antidepressant medication, what options are available if these don’t work for you? Emory is currently testing a new non-drug therapy.
Background
This VNR is about a patient suffering from depression for many years. She is currently exploring other options because she hasn’t been able to get her medication to work. Emory recently offered her enrollment in the TMS program.

Christian Rapper Lecrae virtually stopped by to talk about his album, “Restoration,” his book “I Am Restored, How I Lost My Religion, but Gained My Faith,” and ultimately what inspired the two. The Houston native opened up about overcoming his battle with clinical depression, substance abuse, and gave really good advice on how God, therapy, and journaling saved his life. Lecrae also spoke about mental health and good practices to make sure he is healthy. He also gave great advice to encourage people who currently have a close friend or family member struggling with their mental health and unsure of how to help. Lecrae also dished on “Coming in Hot” going viral three years after its release, giving back to the city of Atlanta, collaborating with secular artists, getting pushback from the Christian community, and he even participated in my rapid-fire segment, ‘5 Questions Nobody Ever Asks.” Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe!
These are the top 5 best prescription weight loss medications on the market. These weight loss meds actually work and I've personally used them on many patients with success.
I've been helping people lose weight for a long time and over the years I've been able to test many different weight loss medications. I've found that while there are many prescription weight loss medications available, only a handful actually work very well.
In this video, I will walk you through the top 5 best prescription weight loss medications available on the market, which ones I prefer to use, what you can expect while using them, how they work, and more.
Before you jump in, make sure you understand that while prescription weight loss medications can be very effective, you should never just use them by themselves. If you are serious about weight loss you should combine these weight loss medications with other changes such as adjusting your diet, reducing your stress, exercising daily, and balancing your other hormones.
If your plan is to jump on one of these medications and lose a bunch of weight, it's probably not going to happen!
But these medications can be very effective if used correctly and if combined with a healthy lifestyle.
The top 5 best prescription medications for weight loss include:
#1. Saxenda/Victoza
Saxenda is FDA approved for weight loss and is probably the single most effective medication on this list.
#2. Invokana/Farxiga
Invokana and Farxiga are not FDA approved for weight loss but they can help. They work by helping your body eliminate or pee out sugar from your kidneys.
#3. Naltrexone
Naltrexone is a part of one FDA approved weight loss medication known as Contrave. Naltrexone is not as effective as the others but it is very safe.
#4. Metformin
Metformin is commonly used to treat diabetes but it does have some weight loss benefits. Don't expect much from metformin though because many people are already taking it.
#5. Phentermine
Phentermine helps with weight loss by reducing your appetite and increasing up your metabolism. It only works if it is used correctly, however, so don't just jump on it without understanding how to use it.
