A drug cocktail may be the key to fighting obesity, researchers said this weekend in Boston.

A scientists' meeting revealed findings of small-scale studies that suggest existing drugs used to treat depression and seizures may hold promise for reducing weight when taken together, according to a Boston Globe report.

It has a lot of appeal to physicians because the way we treat so many chronic conditions is with more than one drug," said Dr. Donna Ryan, chairwoman of the obesity researchers' conference. "It's a direction we're moving in with obesity, but we're not there yet."
