I am on Zyprexa for Bipolar 1 and I found the weight gain and constipation caused by this drug to be a nightmare. I gained 18 kg's which caused high cholesterol and borderline Diabetes type 2. I also had to take laxatives every night otherwise I would not have a bowel movement for over a week +. Xenical keeps me regular (daily). However, I have experienced no diarrhea or oily stools. I definitely have not experienced incontinence as experienced by other users. I have also lost a dress size (no scales in my house otherwise I would throw them thr...Read more
ough a window if an unfavourable reading should occur lol). I would highly recommend Xenical to people who are on atypical anti-psychotic medication; it really is anecdotal to the weight gain and the constipation.

Lost just over a stone in first month - take 3 tablets a day and stick to a fairly low fat diet with no snacks. Have experienced bad wind and oily stools, but no embarasing accidents or major toilet episodes! Has put me off eating high fat content and now I have a salad when I eat out. After 5 weeks, I don't crave chocolate anymore, or take aways and I love the taste of salad and veg. I feel better and I look much better - people are starting to say how much better and slimmer I look. It's great! I have ME and arthritis in my feet so can't do...Read more
much exercise (hence I put on over 4 stone in 2 years!), although I have been walking each day for about 45 minutes, which is easy to stick to. All in all, I think this tablet is great - it is educating me about the way fat content works within your body, and keeps me on the straight and narrow! I would recommend itto anyone who has a BMI of 30 plus and whi is committed to losing weight. Easy to swallow, good results, Flatulance!1 comment

These were a total waste of money as I just got it into my head that I could still eat crap such as KFC and these would just stop the fat being absorbed into my body. Its revolting when you go to the toilet as it is like an oil slick. I didnt suffer with the oily leakage but I know people that have. Definately didnt work for me as I only lost 1 kilo because i was still doing the wrong thing. If you have strong willpower and are willing to change your lifestyle maybe you will a better outcome.
Good idea
Expensive and not freely available

I have been taking Xenical for 4 weeks in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. So far I have lost 3kgs however I feel that is mostly due to my healthier eating, portion control and increased exercise. I have seen mixed results for this medication from friends and family who have taken it and I would say it has about a 50% success rate.
If you are considering taking this medication then please think about the pro's and con's like I did and be prepared!
Tips?
1. Change to a low fat diet and kick up the exercise a notch.

Pretty good if you are obese, but not the answer for someone who is only moderately overweight. Smaller portions is the way to go.
I have used this program twice now, both with different results. The first time round I took a pill before every meal and I suffered terribly with stomach pains and diarrhea. I lost a lot of weight quickly and there was a great support team ready to help. They even sent me out a pedometer and rang each week to check on me. Second time round was years later when my diet was already a lot healthier and I only had...Read more

if i knew i was going to be pooing as frequently as i did and no real control i would have re thought the tablets although i did lose maybe 2 kgs out of 2 x packs of tablets .
sounded like a good thing taking fat out of foods so then you dont store it and you burn the orginal ft in the body in stead.
as everyone esle very oily leakage and i as everyone else found out the hard way. not the best in the car. my boyfriend ( whom i wasnt intending on telling about the drug) had to buy me some pads to wear, as i refused to get out of the car.

I would not recommend this product to anyone, it is horrific. I took it for six months and it took my body some time to return to normal. I really don't think it did anything, it was all the work at the gym that did it. The uncontrollable diahorrea is embarassing and inconvenient. The oil/fat that comes out with your pooh is just vile and leads to constant cleaning of your toilet. I think there are healthier, easier and less embarassing ways to loss weight.
I can't think of any.
Uncontrollable diahorrea, horrible oil leakage - all very uncomfortable and embarassing.

I used this product when i was quite overweight, certainly encourages you to eat healthy and non-oily foods.. also found it good for a splurge.. Overall you achieve weightloss.
Great for really overweight people.. or special occasion splurges...Worked really well at chrissy!
Wear a nappy or something and for god sake, make sure you stay home for a few days after... can be messy! Hard to obtain and quite expensive.

It sounds great initially, and once you see all that fat leaving your body you are convinced that it's a good thing, but it really isn't. It's an embarressing mess, and overall I didn't loose any weight taking Xenical, just lost a few nice pieces of clothing that got some unsightly stains that won't come out!
The concept sounds great!
Say goodbye to your nice underwear, because they will be ruined after taking this drug.

OK
This product has adverse psychological effect. It can give you the thought that eating fat is ok because it gets excreted anyway, therefore hooking you more onto bad foods, rather than assisting with a good healthy diet. And when you eat fat more often, and take xenical more often, the side-effect of this is lethargy. You can feel dreadfully sleepy, if not nauseous.
I am currently trying to find a weight loss assistant that assists with vitality, restricts appetite and assists with fat burn.
Stops absorption of SOME fat into the blood stream...Read more

I saw results in 2 weeks of using Xenical and I highly recommend it to anyone. However, Xenical cannot be bought over the counter these days, therefore you will need to consult your doctor to see if the product is right for you.
I used Xenical for about 2 years and I am satisfied with the product as it DOES help me shed the unwanted kilos and allowed me to feel good about myself without starving myself or going on a diet.
In the first stages of using Xenical, I ended up going to the toilet more often after a meal and there were times when I had...Read more

I think that this product is quite good. It is very expensive and to some people who need it I think this would be quite expesive for them.I felt a bit embarrassed when I asked the chemist about it. This product was behind the front counter and you had to ask for it. I wished that I had been given time to read the contents of the leaflet before I bought it. The first couple of days were the worst. Each time that I had the capsule I was running to the toilet and I wished that I had known how quickly the capsules would take effect.
It was easy to take.
ThaT YOU COULD ONLY BUY IT FROM A CHEMIST

This is one of the few products that show you their effect straight after you take it. It is result you can see. Didn’t have the oily leakage but if I ate too oily food, I would have to go to toilet very soon. Lost 2 Kg in a month. I still use this product, but only after a oily meal.
It is the easy way to lower your fat intake on every meal. You can see it works when you go to the toilet.
You actually need to be very careful what you eat. Meals can’t be too oily; otherwise you will be running to the toilet right after the meal. Very expensive too.

After visiting my local chemist looking for dietary advice on losing weight, it was suggested I buy Xenical, even though I am overwieght but not obese. I read the instructions carefully and understood that if my daily intake of fat was over 12g, there could be a side effect. Iwas very careful about my fat intake and as I am a vegetarian who lives on fruit and vegies, I thought there would be no problem. ( my initial wieght gain was, I think, due to giving up smoking ). The day after I started taking the tablets I was literally running to the ba...Read more
throom every half hour or so with very slippery, disgustingly oily stools. I persisted for one week only and returned to the chemist to complain, as my diet was healthy but I got the side effects anyway. I was told maybe it was that I was not fat enough to use Xenical in the first place! Please be very careful with this product, as it can cause some revolting things happening to your body - see a doctor first! And I lost no wieght... Easy to take Didn't workSimilar opinion?

I tried these tablets and had the worst stomach pains and diarrhea, I was scared to leave home when on these because the fat would go right through you without warning. These may make you lose weight but with the symptoms I had I dont think its a healthy way to lose weight or convenient either. I was always scared of having a mishap in public, not a very nice thing to have happen. I stopped taking themf or this reason and would not like to try them again. I dont think they work if you dont have any fat in your diet, and isnt it fat we try to cut out of the diet to losse weight, this product does not teach healthy eating habits to continue once you lose your weight
Rid your body of any fat you eat
This cause diarrhea and bad stomach cramps

tried this product for 6 months, at the end of the 6 months i was no better off but had quite a few public mishaps with oil leakage whilst shopping. i remember one day standing at the shopping centre talking with my friend and feeling the oil just running down my legs. had to buy new set of clothes that day and took spare clothes from then on. it is quite highly priced and basically you just continue eating what you normally would and consciously just take a pill to help remove some of the fat content before it can be absorbed.personally i pref...Read more
er some of the meal replacement shake weight loss programs as you become more aware of what you are eating and generally make more informed choices than you would with xenical. it's definantly not suitable for anyone who isn't classed as obese and it's not a quick fix, xenical is a long term slow process. there sre better prodeucts on the market for a lower price. easily to swallow tablet, oily stools, side effects, diarrhea, headaches, leakage, foul smelling flatulence often resulting in leakage, very embarrassing side effectSimilar opinion?
