i started using xenical 6 weeks ago and have so far lost 23 pounds.
i have followed a low fat diet and have had no side effects at all.
only problem has been actually getting the medication as all chemists say there is a problem getting them supplied.

If you follow the rules you wont have a problem, but if your still cheating and have not changed your diet, you WILL have adverse side effects. Which in my opinion is the beauty of this drug, it keeps you accountable to your weight loss goal! :) good luck everyone! The first time i took it i lost 35 lbs in 4 months. i had a baby 18 months ago and i am going to go back on it to lose the baby weight
