| 5 | Lose weight | None | I am a healthcare professional. I give out box after box of xenical. I have done masses of training on this medication, and I will tell you this for fact - THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL GET THE SIDE EFFECTS IS IF YOU DO NOT ADHERE TO THE INSTRUCTIONS! It partly disables an enzyme in your gut called lipase, which breaks down fat, so it cannot be broken down and absored. About 30% of your dietry fat will be expelled. There is physically no way you can get such explosive side effects if you adhere to the instructions - there would not be enough fat in your system for this to happen! So take a good hard look at what you have eaten, every little thing you added to food, and ask yourself again if you adhered to the fat allowance. | M | 27 | 3 days 3 daily 3X day | 8/18/2011 | 3 | weight loss | Constipation | I have been on Xenical now for 7 days, and have really bad constapation, no sign of loose stools so i think maybe its not working for me, anyone else have this problem | F | 43 | 7 days 1X day | 8/8/2011 | 5 | to lose weight | None, cause Im not a blithering idiot | Sick to death of the people on here complaining about the side effect YOU chose to give yourself. Its like getting a gun, loading it, aiming it at your face, pulling the trigger....then saying woops! You know if you eat over 10 grams of fat per meal you will get side effect so don't crap on about the " no warning explosive side effect" YOU chose to have them when u ate fattening foods. This worked perfect for me, and I not a fat excuse maker anymore | F | 31 | 30 days 120 3X day | 7/26/2011 | 5 | to lose weight | soiling,cramps | I've now lost over 5 stone on these tablets.You get used to the side effects and wear a towel for extra protection.You soon learn quickly which foods to eat.I have noticed the past few weeks I've not had any orange oil when I really should of had some side effects(was naughty on holiday) anyone else found they stopped working over a long period? | F | 41 | 1 years 1X day | 7/24/2011 | 3 | bad farting oily stool | i am currently on xenical , it is helping but I'm still battling to stop myself eating too much.

I have therefore had no bad effects and lost 5 pounds in the first week. My toilet habits have returned to normal and have seen no orange oil since day 4. I am now feel a little bloated but nothing major | F | 28 | 8 days 2X day | 4/14/2011 | 5 | i really wana try this product but i need an advice.i am really obsessed about my body and health..i am normal actually my bmi is 24 i am 168 cm and i weight 64 but i used to weigh 56 kg and i wana release this 8 kilos i have gained do you advice me ? | F | 19 | 1X day | 4/4/2011 | 3 | to slim | unconrolled oily bowel movements! | Had to stop as I couldn't go out without wearing incontinence wear but 2 weeks after stopping I have had blood in my stools all the time and now have to go for tests! | F | 42 | 10 days 2X day | 3/19/2011 | 2 | Loose weight | Excrutiating stomach pains, bloating, weakness, dizzyness, light headed, feeling "out of it"!!! | Only day 4 and im in agonizing pain in my stomach i want to give up... no accidents- infact not much bowel movement atall!! very dizzy and lightheaded and not sleeping as well... oo and i havnt lost a pound!!! | F | 21 | 4 days 120mg 3X day | 2/24/2011 | 2 | The dreaded Orange Oily discharge that comes with NO WARNING | Day one, no problem, Day 2 no problem........ I didn't even take a capsule on Day 3 and WHAMMO, just as I was getting ready for bed and explosion of orange oil is pouring out of me. There was no warning, and my body gave no incling that I needed to go to the toilet. I was so lucky because 20 minutes earlier I was at the pub with my friends! I MIGHT start it again when it is accompanied with Lite and Easy Meals or someting. | F | 26 | 3 days 120 1X day | 2/18/2011 | 4 | Weight loss | This drug is excellent for weight loss. I've cut back the fat but have still indulged a bit and have had some nasty side effects. It's gross, but the only way to ensure you don't have an accident in you knickers is to roll up about three or four squares of toilet paper into a "butt-pon" and stick it in your bum, covering your anus so that any leakage goes on the toilet paper. | F | 35 | 3 weeks 30mg 2X day | 2/3/2011 | 4 | overweight | loose stool, orange oil that accompanies stool | got so embarrassed, i farted while eating, unknowingly i got some orange oil in my pants, run out to clean and put some alcohol to get rid with the odor....i think xenical helps if its accompanied with exercise and self-discipline, the food we eat is what our body showed, in my case, it helps a lot i lost 2kgs. in just 7 days (only 1 tablet daily)....thanks to this medicine | F | 34 | 7 days 120ms 1X day | 12/26/2010 | 2 | weight loss | just normal oily stool if to much fat. | weight has fluxuated by 5 pounds but not lost a pound. unsure if I should continue. im pissed as ive tried everything. looking for people who went through the same but then started to lose. | F | 30 | 1 months 30 3X day | 12/24/2010 | 4 | Overweight | Loose stool, orange oil, not much more gas, more frequent bowel movements | So I've been on it for about 2 weeks. After a week I had the dreaded 'accident'. Went to fart, and it wasn't a fart. Not a pretty sight. Though I did have pizza and wings the night before. Xenical mainly teaches you to eat better. You eat like crap, and you suffer shortly after. I am trying to eat better. I've lost about 1 lb since I started. | M | 28 | 14 days 120 MG 2X day | 12/3/2010 | 4 | over weight | orange oily spots in the toilet loose stools no accidents | iv been useig this for 10 days was a bit skeptical as iv tried other weight loss drgs to try loose weight no sucsess iv completely changed my eating diet living on soup fruit and water which was a hard change because i have a sweet tooth n didnt think i cold doit , today i weghed myself and found to my surprise iv lost half a stone ..7lb and was over the moon as i have got to loose roughly 6 stone.. i think have to keep at it because its fast workin and puts a big smile on your face when see the results that it is working :D | F | 31 | 10 days 120mg 3X day | 10/9/2010 | 4 | weight loss | gas oily stools oil leak | Iv been taking this drug for 3 months and iv lost 2 stone allready , 28 pounds It is very effective as long as you follow the correct dietry requirments no more than around 17g of fat per meal or you will have the side effects but that gives you more power to eat healthy and diet more you need to exercise with this drug or the weight loss isnt as rapid i do not recomend taking this drug if you are not willing to cut down in your diet or willing to exercise apart from that i will be keeping up my diet with xecnical and hopefuly loose a few more stone | F | 20 | 3 months 120mg 3X day | 8/26/2010 | 3 | dr prescribed due to overweight | found the stool oily and originally thought it was blood..but more like curry...i ate curry earlier... | no further comments..will update more after like a week | F | 38 | 3 days 1X day | 8/9/2010 | 4 | weight loss | Minimal; stool somewhat looser; nothing major | I noticed a lot of people are having problems with diaherria (sp?). I was quite nervous about taking xenical because I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. However, I've had minimal side effects. Possibly it is because I take metamucil twice a day which helps control diaherria. I would recommend people try this. Anyway I've lost 6 lbs so far. I'll try and update my experience. | F | 49 | 8 days 120mg 3X day | 7/24/2010 | 3 | To lose weight | Increased gas | This is day 5 on Xenical. I have lost 2.6kg so far but am unsure how much of this is due to Xenical and how much is due to the detox diet I am currently on (Day 3 of detoxing). Lots of gas but no bowel movement at all. Headaches, but this is due to lack of water and tummy pain which I guess is due to not having a bowel movement for 5 days. I hope this drug helps me lose the additional 20 kgs I'm carrying around. Reading about the accidental pant pooing is very scary though! | F | 30 | 5 days 120mg 3X day | 3/23/2010 |
