New Starter - Headaches anyone?
Posted , 7 users are following.
A big hello to all on the forum!
I have just started on the Orlistat journey and, wondered if anyone had experienced headaches when beginning to take them. I am on day 3 and have noticed I have a dull headache that I cant seem to get rid of.
I know that Orlistat has side effects for some, but just wondered if headaches have affected anyone and if they subside sooner rather than later?
Thanks folks for all replies!

Yep had headaches for a couple of weeks all normal along with some nausea and stomach pains (not side effect pains)
It will go in a couple of weeks

Ive noticed feeling 'windy' enough to go and privately 'blow' to release the pressure (sorry is this TMI? lol), but have felt fine otherwise.
Im a bit confused as to whether I should be eating very low fat as it states in the patient information leaflet not to take if there isnt fat in your meal? Im just keeping fat to a minimum and hoping for the best. My GP who is great, just prescribed and didnt actually advise. By chance I stumbled upon this great forum! Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Your welcome
wind is very common as long as there is no orange oil you will be fine.
If you ate salad on its own or fruit and non fat yogurt for breakfast lunch/dinner do not bother taking as there is no fat present.
only take when you have the 3 big main meals of the day
Make sure your food is 5g per 100g no more than that 15g fat per meal and no more than 45g fat a day. I cannot ey 45g fat a day most people on these don't as long as your satisfied and full that's all that matters

Headaches are just your body reacting to less sugar and rubbish in your diet. Drink masses of water and they should go. Make sure you are not eating too little as that can also cause headaches. Good luck x
