Be careful with Xenical...

[phillips87]

Oh the one thing I have noticed is by my third meal or my third pill I am really itchy kind of like an allergic reaction. I take benadryl and it's fine. Just wondered if anyone else had this problem.

Hi.

I have been taking Xenical now for almost 3 weeks, and I am noticing that the side effects are not to bad now, I was relly bad at the beginning, accidents, fats the whole nine yards. I am wondering if I am not having the bad side affects now is it still working. I dont think I have lost any weight and I am starting to get annoyed now and thinking about stopping. Any advise ??

I have read everyone comments on xenical and have had a chuckle....a friend of mine started the tablets a week before and had begun to see reults,so I decided to try them as well.I am currently on hoildays for a month so if any "accidents" were to occur,I wouldnt be far from the loo.The chemist guy explained in detail that the tablets allow the stomach walls to absorb 2/3 of the overall fat intake and the other 1/3 would be directly passed through the intestines,which means the more fat you eat the fat you will retain-not pass.so it doesnt necessarily mean you should eat more fat.He recommended (as all dieticians do)to eat a balanced diet and exercise.Anyway,Im also not sure whether it is related to the tablets or not,but I have come down with flu type symptoms and insomnia,but it could be a coincidence.
As for the business end,I want to know what exactly is the orange fatty substance that passes through??why is it orange??Just remember folks-keep the creme cleanser handy by the loo as this stuff sticks like the proverbial.

Hi there. I thought this was crazy but i have stopped losing weight almost competely now after taking xenical for 2 months. But, if i do eat meals with a little more fat in them, i tend to lose about 1 or 2 pounds a week now. I am sad that I am not losing as much as in the beginning. Any suggestions?

[Robin]

Granted, so far I have only taken Xenical for 5 days. Already I see a difference on the scale. Another symptom I have had is less desire to eat. My eating habits are not the best. I usually eat only 1 or 2 times a day but when I do eat, I eat alot. The last 3 days I do not feel a need to eat alot. A salad, and I'm satisfied.
Could the pills be affecting my hunger neurons?lol for lack of a better way to discribe it.
Let me know if anyone else has felt this way also.

I've been taking Xenical for about a week now, and have yet to see results on the scale. I'm getting very upset, as I'm 100lbs over weight and something with a Rx and hefty (no pun intended) price tag should show me some kind of results!
I don't eat much, but I make sure the meal is balanced when I do... I'm finding it really frustrating to eat MORE fat than I already do, as I clearly have issues with eating large quantities for fear of gaining more weight than I already have. I really am on my last straw and need to know what people who are losing weight are doing right?
I'm active, always on the go, I try to get the right amount of sleep, and have come off birth control even in the attempt to lose some stubborn weight that just won't seem to go away.

I really need this to work, because I'm not seeing results eating healthy and keeping an active lifestyle.
:(

Please, if you have any advice about how to make this drug work for me, that would be great.
I really don't want to hear the same old "just work out more" or "eat less" because neither of those have been working for me.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi everyone, i took this diet pill a few months ago and i was quite disappointed with the results. i am quite impatient and i was expecting this to be a quick fix for losing weight but it is not so i decided to come off them as i got bored of watching the amount of fat i ate each meal. These tablets do work, but it is a safe, controlled way to lose weight. As for everyone thats worried as they havnt had any of the bad side afects, that is because you are eating the right amount of fat. You will only have bad side effects if u eat over 15g of fat per meal. it is best not to as the effects are imbarrising and hard to control. hope i have helped

I have been taking xenical for two days now, no side effects (but early days!) However, the thought of the side effects themself has stopped me wanting to eat high fat content food! I went out for lunch today and i was so worried that i downloaded (excuse pun!!) the menu online to check for the most healthy option i could! i also wore patyliners! I have no doubt that this will help me and iam aware that i dont have to take xenical if i eat a very very low in fat/zero fat meal but so far i have been a few times and it has seemed normal to me......Does this mean its working or not?? so many mixed signals on this forum weather to add more fat etc....Although im happy with what im doing im sure i may see results soon, im being patient...something ive had trouble with in the past = fail on diet!
Good luck to all :)

Ive been taking xenical for 5 weeks now and have enjoyed a steady weight loss of 15lb...... I have also followed the weightwatchers diet so i am not eating a lot of fat hence no nasty side effects..... i must add though after losing my 1st half stone i celebrated with a small amount of bombay mix, ive not had any since... I had really crippling stomach cramps so bad i could barely move so had to crawl to the toilet.....

apart from that i can only praise what they have done for me..... ive tried for over a year and tried weightwatchers & slimming world on their own and nothing shifted apart from the money from my bank......

My one fear though is when i come off them will all the weight creep back on....

Okay, I am sitting here with tears rolling down my face and a stomach ache from laughing so hard! Please tell me your career has something to do with writing! I haven't laughed this hard in a long time! Thanks!

I have lost 6KG and with zero side effects :)
the Orlistat (general xenical) from dealgeneric.com works for me and it's lots cheaper than the name brand.

[Maria50]

I find site with Xenical description - drug uses, side effects, dosage, precautions, storage - http://pills-meds.com/order-xenical-online.ht... Hope, this information about this medication will be useful for you

I have three months supply of Orlistat/Xenical for sale. This is 3x84 capsules that are 12mg each. More than happy to post abroad (I am in the UK) and accept paypal.

Very effective, I have lost four stone in six months. I am selling as I no longer have a need for them. They are available to buy over the counter which is branded as Alli. Unfortunately they are half of the strength of the prescribed version. To buy the equivalent dose in the UK, you would be looking at £300!

More than happy to provide support/advice if you need a kick start. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Feel free to contact me on [e-mail]

My doctor prescribed it to me, but since my insurance only covers $10 of the $360 monthly price tag, I am up the creek. While I suppose just not eating like a piggie would work and be cheaper, I would like to know if there is a generic lower cost version out there. If I understand correctly Orlistat is Alli, the OTC, dumbed down version of the pill. I prefer a generic high-test version of the Xenical. Any ideas?

I have been taking 3 Tablets a day for the last 5 days and nothing has happened even though I have had very fatty meals. Does it taker longer to work for some people or does it just NOT work for others. In fact I feel a bit constipated.

[Leanda]

Hi Debbie from Johannesburg,
Seems like we two are the only ones taking Xenical in South Africa - or are the others hiding.
Please email me on [e-mail] so we can have a chat about it. I'd love a Xenical buddie!

[xenfan]

i found wearing a pad helps for "accidental farts" because of the little protection it provides instead of having your undies and clothes dirtied in public.

Yes you can buy it from Canada. It is so much cheaper and I trust Canada cause they are a good neighbor and first world country. That is where I have obtained mine and I've had no problems. Here is the site that features the best internet pharmacies from Canada and where I bought mine:

Most Americans have health insurance so can pass the expense on but if you have limited or no health insurance Canada is the way to go.
