A new study shows that the migraine drug Topamax and weight-loss treatment phentermine helped patients lose between 18 and 22 pounds when combined with lifestyle counseling.

Patients in the study who received counseling alone lost an average of 3 pounds.

A pill combining the two drugs called Qnexa is awaiting FDA approval.
