Some good appetite suppressants you can take to curb your appetite are.

Diethylpropion (Tenuate dospan®).
Liraglutide (Saxenda®).
Naltrexone-bupropion (Contrave®).
Phendimetrazine (Prelu-2®).
Phentermine (Pro-Fast®).
Phentermine/topiramate (Qsymia®).

Appetite suppressants are drugs designed to curb hunger and, in turn, help you lose weight.

The FDA has approved these medications that you can only get with a doctor's prescription: Liraglutide (Saxenda)

Some other ways you can curb your appetite include.

Use protein as a hunger-buster.
Fill yourself up with watery, high-fiber foods.
Exercise can help control hunger.
Drink fluids to help you feel less hungry.
Eating small, frequent meals can help curb your appetite.

Prioritize calories from lean protein, slow-release carbohydrates, and high-fiber foods.
Cut back on sugar and salt.
Drink more water before and during meals.
Eat slowly and preferably at the same times every day if you can.
Practice mindful eating.

The B vitamins that are most important to appetite control include vitamin B6, vitamin B12, inositol, and folate.

They can be taken as individual supplements or, in many cases, taken together in the form of a B complex.

Studies show that a B12 deficiency can sometimes result in a loss of appetite.

If you take a B12 supplement to treat this deficiency, you may experience an increase in appetite, but that's really a restoration of a normal level.

In general, for healthy people, taking B12 neither increases nor decreases appetite.
