Drugs to help lose weight [View all]

As i'm diabetic and about 70lbs overweight my endocrinologist prescribed a drug called Victosa,the first month oddly enough i gained 10lbs now after 6 months i've given up the Victosa and i've now lost 10lbs. Odd reaction to a drug thats supposed to help you lose weight. its also very expensive as it comes in injectable pens,they run $100 each and you go through 1 a week, without insurance covering 80% i could never afford such a drug..
Any one got any weight loss drugs that worked for them?
Yeah i know i should eat less but thats a little harder to accomplish than you may think.
