Hi All!
I'm new to this forum and I have started taking Orlistat this week (day 3). I was so scared to start taking them but so far no 'side effects'. I have seen really old posts on here about Orlistat and wondered how people are finding it?

How old are you, was it your doctor who advised you to start taking Orlistat?

Update week 1
I followed a very low fat diet all week and I made sure I drank plenty of water. Still no side effects so I hope the tablets are working. I'm not complaining though! - 4lbs so actually I was pretty happy with that, I hope that maybe I could have a 3lb loss this week to get to the half stone mark and I'll really feel like I am on my way. When I did SW I always had treat day on weigh day but on these I'm not going to take the risk.

Different people have different reactions to drugs and medications. If you havent felt no side effects its good but increasing dosage also increases the chance of side effects.
