Hi, has anyone tried Xenical? I have been on Lipotrim in the past through my GP but they don't offer it anymore and have suggested I take Xenical/Orlistat.

I would be really interested to hear if anyone has used Xenical and what their experience was. Weight lost, problems etc.

Personally i've not tried either drug, but i wanted to wish you well, and say that i'm sure someone will be along who can help you out!

Good Luck...which ever road we take we all have a struggle ahead. xxx

Hi I have had xenical my suggestion to you would be if you are going to try this wear a nappy!!The side effects are rather horrid!!it stops a certain percentage of the fat you eat being absorbed.I did lose a stone or so but decided to discontinue,however my mum has a friend who lost 3 stone and she did really well.
Good luck though whatever you decide

Hi Julie
I remember you from when I tried VCLD several months ago. What are you up to now? Are you back on CD?

Hi Jane,yes i am back on cd again,have decided if i cant do it this time it has to be the last time i try.
I am on my 8th day ss,and i have not cheated once,i am going to a cd group and it makes a real difference to me.
How are you doing?

Hi Jane,

Many people get nasty bowel movements with Xenical. But no other more serious side effects.

This page lists several sources with xenical reviews and opinions.
