    Good Luck Emzy and Lindenrosemary

    Hopefully we are bale to get them next month easily enough as iot seems pointless taking them for the weightloss to be halted yet again

    I know but I had a long chat with the chemist and we came to the conclusion that it was better to begin now with one box than not to start at all. Hopefully the supply will be constant now. And if even a months weight loss means less pain in my knees and ankles I will be so happy.

    Yipppeeee!! Just been called by the pharmacy and they have some orlistat for me, I only went in to get my other prescription filled on Monday and I was told October. I think I only have 1 box but can't wait, only thing is I am going to Portugal for 2 weeks on Saturday so I may wait until my return. As we are self catering last time we did this i lost weight on holiday as I was always swimming so wish me luck!!!

    Hi all,

    Dont want to burst anyones bubble but i got a box last month after wating since feb and took another prescription to the chemist straight away. That was 3 weeks ago and still havnt got any. I only have 6 days worth left and im really annoyd because Im diabetic and when i first started the tabs they made my blood sugars drop really low so went to see specialist and got all of my insulin dosages changed, Now i cant get the tabs so will have to re-ajust.

    Someone really needs to sort this once and for all. It really isnt fair. whats the point of been able to get a box one month but not the month after.

    Sorry for the rant all but next week will be full of time away from work to change all insulin dosages again...and guess what when i get another box... I will have to change them back again.

    @amanda001 - Yay at long long last I have some, I did phone at the time but they must have given out what stock they did have.

    None the less I've actually managed to get some from a small co-op chemist in Weston-super-Mare today.

    I am one happy lady now, ready to start tomorrow and hoping to see the results quite soon.

    Good luck to any of you who are still struggling to find some. You do need to keep pestering them and tell them that you know they are about as you're seeing it on this forum. That's what I did and it's finally worked !!!

    biggrin

    Hi all,

    I have removed the last post about selling tablets on ebay and the replies, not really an appropriate comment and not the purpose of these forums.

    Regards,
