| 3 | Not yet | Did anyone get Xenical online? | Did anyone get Xenical online, if so what website did you use. I do not have a prescription plan to cover it. | M | | 3/9/2007 | 3 | 140 kgs @ 24 yrs of age | only 1. oily discharge with or without gas discharge, without any knowledge for 3 days after it had been a week of dosage, then i stopped taking xenical for 2 days. now again i have been taking xenical for a week and no oil is passing with the gas. does this mean that the medicine is not working anymore? | only 1. oily discharge with or without gas discharge, without any knowledge for 3 days after it had been a week of dosage, then i stopped taking xenical for 2 days. now again i have been taking xenical for a week and no oil is passing with the gas. does this mean that the medicine is not working anymore? | M | 24 | 2 weeks | 10/3/2007 | 3 | lose weight | some "treatment effects" - oily stools, sudden urgency | I was already pretty good at sticking to a low fat diet, but I am amazed at how much fat and grease I am passing even when sticking to 45 G of fat for the whole day (no more than 15 at a meal). Hey - better out my behind than on my hips! The side effects are not as bad as they sound -- at least if you eat relatively low fat. | M | 51 | 2 weeks | 9/21/2007 | 2 | loose weight | i have been taking it for a week and i have lost only two pounds of weight and, slight headache, oily stool, accident this morning:( i was little upset, i keep cleaning supplies for toilet because of the orange oily nasty thing, and i am thinking to quit it. | M | 32 | 1X day | 3/23/2010 | 1 | yes | Common: oily stool, gassy and bloated feeling. Worst side effect: Severe palpitation and was admitted to emergency room. Heart rate jumped to 230 beats per minute, gasping for breath and all muscles were feeling numb, mouth begins to feel dry and urgency to urinate. Doctor gave me an IV adenosine and heart rate slowed down. Ended up in ICU for 2 nights. Diagnosis: Supra Ventricular Tachycahrdia. Under medication ( isoptin 80 mg 2x a day) | M | 36 | 1 years 30 mg 1X day | 6/17/2012 | 1 | overweight | release of oily substance into underwear without warning.Very Very embarrising this has happend twice in a 9hr period.Scared to take it as job takes me a long way from a toilet. | M | 58 | 7 days | 1/31/2009 | 5 | Weight | I have had the usual bowel movements with oily stool. I have good control so have not experienced any accidents. I experimented with this first week and have not changed my diet. Would you believe I have lost 2 lbs regardless. When I start going to the gym and cut some of the fat from my diet, weight will drop off of me. I cant barely wait. | I know the side effects are unappealing and can actually be uncomfortable, but if you cut a good amount of fat from your diet, you cant go wrong. Yes, it is expensive, but since when has losing weight ever been easy or cheap? | F | 33 | 7 days | 3/18/2009 | 5 | Lose weight for daughter's wedding | Constipated first couple days, then the usual oily stools (or worse!) with too much fat intake. | Works for me. It keeps me from cheating on my diet. It's simple, if you eat too much fat you may not make it to the toilet in time. And it's not like you can eat fat and not take a pill to escape the side effects because it stays in your system for several days. You can still have a drink because alcohol is sugar, not fat. When I need something sweet I eat licorice which has no fat. | F | 54 | 4 months | 7/23/2008 | 5 | Weight loss after having a baby | Orange stools, slight headaches | I have been taking xenical for one week, alongside a relatively low fat diet and have lost (to my surprise) 3kg. I haven't been that carefull with the amount of fat I have eaten and have been caught out once. Towards the end of the week though I started to become a little constipated, has anyone else experienced this? I'm pleased with the product and hoping that the weight loss will continue :O) | F | 30 | 7 days | 10/31/2009 | 5 | obese teenager | in the first couple of weeks i didnt get any side effects, i felt great and completely normal. yesterday was the first time that i had orange, oily stool. this can be explained though, because i ate kfc and didnt watch my points that day. it wasnt bad/painful though. | i weighed 120kilos when starting xenical, honestly it has changed my life. i cant remember a time when i loved shopping, my body and clothing so much! i wore a size 24-26 for the past year, which is horrible as a teen in highschool. in just four weeks im now wearing size 18 jeans! big big big improvement, i cant believe it. i can now also fit into (the biggest size though) of normal clothes, not pluz size for once! i currenty weigh 112kgs. its great, i dont feel like a burden to myself, family or friends. its now october and ill probably stay on xenical until january, just to get over the xmas period. xenical is great, i havent had any side effects and it has boosted my fitness, confidence and ability to love myself.. email me if you wish for any other details. | F | 17 | 4 weeks | 9/30/2009 | 5 | overweight | Initially had issue with wind but soon went with mint tea, after a week stopped having to use that. On whole not had other issues. on thyroxine, insulin and gliclazide aswell as bp pills and statins. blood glucose levels dropped almost immediately! No longer take glicklazide, dropped long acting insulin by third and insulin with meals by half. not been weighed recently but dropped from 18 to 14 jeans and lost almost 2" off waist. very pleased so far! | F | 48 | 7 weeks | 10/13/2009 | 5 | Obesity | One incident of dark orange oil in my stool but that was because I had 2 slices of pizza that had 12g of fat EACH. | So far this has been really good for me. I haven't actually weighed myself yet but I certainly feel smaller. A lot of people on here are saying that they're experiencing really bad side effects, but then they say they're eating about 12g of fat with every meal. It's no surprise if you're eating that much! The most I'll have in one meal is 7g. The pills work wonderfully but only if you cut down enough. | F | 18 | 6 days 120mg 3X day | 6/19/2013 | 5 | obesity | terrible gas leading to divorce, pooping myself at the mall, oil in poop, 7 bowel movements per day, running to bathroom, staining of underwear, weight loss | I have to wear diapers now. My spouse filed for divorce. More laundry with pre-treatment. I shit myself in the car at a drive through. My toilet is stained too. Can't quite make it to the toilet in time. | F | 35 | 1 years 120 mg 3X day | 12/1/2013 | 5 | To lose 6 stone gained in last 5 yr | Headaches and oily poo. no major side effects, had no accidents as yet. | Been on this for 23 days and lost 9lbs. So far so good. Has changed the choices I make with food now as do not want to experience nasty side affects. | F | 25 | 23 days | 8/23/2009 | 5 | obese | only slight hunger pains due to less/healthier food consumed than previously | this product is great! although expensive, ive seen results. i feel fine and normal in every way. just make sure you keep under the 30gram limit fat intake or you will pay in leakage and disgusting toilet habits. there isnt much help on the internet for a diet under 30grams so ill give you a typical day for me: four strawberries, a banana and a kiwi fruit for breakfast with a dollop of low fat yogurt on it - 2.5grams museli bar - 6grams steamed brocolli, carrot and potato with chicken - 12grams vita weats with vegemite - 3.5 grams grilled chicken breast with white rice and side salad - 6grams this can be varied accordingly. i find xenical great and im thankful for this product and my weight loss! | F | 17 | 1 weeks | 8/26/2009 | 5 | weight loss | Fatty stools if eaten high fat meals, achy teeth | First week, good results | F | 27 | 8 days | 8/29/2009 | 5 | overweight | I am on Xenical since end of November. I lost 16kg. My weight was 94 kg at the begin.I eat healthy diet, and do a walking excersise 3 times a week.This pill is brilliant!!!! | F | 30 | 7 months | 6/4/2009 | 5 | to help me loose weigh | Lot of gas in my stomach. A bit rash on my skin, But I think Is due to thefact that my body is expeling the fat. Nothing major. | Firts of all I want to say, I exercise every day. 40 min on the bicycle, 45 to 1 hour running/walking with the dog and a bit of weigh and sit up. Is hard! Before start xenical I was 81kg. In 3 week`s time I lost 4 kg, the exercise and xenical together done the job. There is one problem only. Gas in my stomac. When I`m home is fine, but at work is really unconfortble, I need to run to the toilet every 30min and hope noone is there. If I don`t go it hurt. I know is not the solution, but is helping me alot. Once I reach my ideal wiegh I`m gonna stop xenical and keep going with the exercise. I`ve done soo many diet nothig really work, but since I change my life style (wich was really hard) I`m happy. God I was soo blind b4. I`m healthy now and I`m planning to have a child with my partner and is really imprtant for me to give a good example to my child. I don`t want him to think that be overweigh is ok. I would like to thanks the persnon that invent xenical. Good luck with your weigh loss to all of you. Melissa | F | 26 | 3 weeks | 6/13/2009 | 5 | To help me loose weight | The only sideeffects I have experienced are the ones I have asked for by eating too much fatty foods which causes the horrible orange diarreah. | I started off with "Alli" which in Norway has half the amount of orlistat in it. It worked fine so I asked my doctor for a prescription on Xenical.(Which has twice the amount of orlistad and half the prize) I have no sideeffects of the pill unless I eat too much fatty food. The pill helps me get consious about what I put in my mouth, and together it has made me loose 1 kg every week so far. I have tried every diet available before this without effect, but this pill har really helped med loose weight and made me more consious about my intake of food. | F | 46 | 2 months | 6/25/2009 | 5 | WEIGHT LOSE | to much fat in your meal and you will suffer, | WAS HAVING TROUBLE LOSING WEIGHT HAD LOST 2 STONE MYSELF BUT WAS STUCK,READ ABOUT XENICAL SO THOUGHT HEY WHY NOT IF MY DOCTOR PRESCRIBED IT ,ANYWAY GOT TABLETS AND BEEN ON THEM 3 WEEKS LOST ABOUT 8 POUNDS FEELING MUCH BETTER IN MYSELF AND STILL LOSING WEIGHT AND FOUND FOODS THAT I CANNOT EAT | F | 38 | 21 days | 6/15/2007 |
