Has anyone had any experience with FDA approved weight loss prescriptions? What are your thoughts on these? Has anyone had any success and are there any that you would recommend?

Most are just legalized "speed"/stimulants. They can include some very serious side effects, including heart attacks, cardiac arrythmias, and sudden cardiac arrest (death). With only 34 lbs to lose, I would stay away from them.0

I was looking into Alli0

Alpo even says if you are not above a certain BMI not to use their product. It has also been associated with liver disease. Not to mention the embarrassing leakage they warn you about. Not worth it.0

Three words - uncontrollable an@l leakage.
And yeah, with 35lbs to lose, you shouldn't be looking at prescription diet pills, you should simply be looking at a calorie deficit.0 -
Alli is awful. I had Xenical which is the doctor prescribed version. This was about 8 years ago. It was awful. I didn't dare eat anything incase I pooped myself. Don't do it.0

I do not recommend reading that if you have a sensitive stomach or like me you were trying to drink anything liquid. I almost choked and I definitely snort laughed a few times.

Yes, probably a good warning, lol. Although if you already have a sensitive stomach, don't take Alli, it won't help.0 -

Omg I choked on my coffee reading that. 10/10.
My mom used to take those diet pills. Forgot which ones, but she ended up in the ER with a crash cart on standby.
Baffles me how people could risk their life/health for a short cut instead of simply eating less and moving more.0 -

Just keep in mind, if any diet pill actually worked, then there would be a lot more skinny people.
Most are short term solutions (like a few months). But in the end, you still need to learn how, what and how much you can eat to sustain your lifestyle.0 -

Same for me... I was on xenical (briefly) several years ago. I lost weight because I was afraid to eat anything for the same reason you state above.0 -
Alli......don't do it. I.....just don't.0

I know the fact that this says Alpo instead of Alli is just a typo, but that made me lol so hard at the idea of people eating cans of dog food for weight loss. I'm sure that diet would also cause... Leakage...0 -

YES!! I was also given Xenical about 8 or 9 yrs ago. No control over the bowl movements was definitely a bad bad side effect. Lets just say I ran all over myself in spinning class. Not pretty at all.0 -

And no MFP because we all just pill it up when weight increases.0 -
