No side effects at all

[amarose60]

Hi!


I have gained a lot of weight in the past 2 years due to hypothyroidism and giving up smoking. I'm 5ft 3 and now weigh 14 stone. I also have an anxiety disorder. My Doctor first gave me reductil, but this made me really jittery etc. I was given xenical around 3 days ago and have been taking 1 120mg tablet with each meal. I have to admit that i'm still in the early stages of trying to correct my diet which is high in fat, but am worried that the xenical is not working at all. I have seen people mention a lot of side effects etc, but even though i have lapsed in the last few days and eaten things like pizza and bacon and eggs etc, I have had no effects at all. No change in bowel habits or any oily stuff etc. I've tried taken the tablet immediately before and during meals but still no evidence that it is doing anything. Is this normal in the first few days? If I've eaten a meal high in fat, shouldn't I have noticed something?

I'm glad I found this forum because I've struggled with my weight for a couple of years now and it's nice to find a friendly place with people going through the same thing.

Hope someone can help.
