    I had a friend that did and while she did lose some weight it didn't help with food choices, nutrition or making positive choices (I'm pretty sure she gained most of it back).

    And there was the issue with oily leaking discharge.....YUCK!!!!

    I took it when I was trying to lose weight quickly for my wedding last year. I went from losing about a pound a week, to losing 2-3 a week, but there are some horrible side effects (like the above posters have mentioned) if you eat more than 20 grams of fat within about a 3-hour period. I gained a little bit back, but it wasn't from when I stopped taking it, it was mainly from making bad choices. I also winded up reading an article earlier this year saying that it could cause liver damage. It definitely worked, but I would never use it again. I've learned that losing weight slowly is the healthier way to go.

    I was prescribed the higher dosage one (Xenical) by my doctor and they worked for a while (lost about 15lbs) but then that came to a halt so I stopped taking them. You have to be VERY careful with your fat intake - I couldn't go higher than, about, 12-15g of fat PER MEAL (and sometimes even that was too high) otherwise the dreaded accident occurs...and it isn't nice...at all (shudders at the memory) lol!!

    The only reason I used them was because I was having A LOT of difficulty losing weight - thanks to PCOS.

    Would I take them again...probably not - I've found a way of eating now that works, it's a lot easier and I feel so much better.
    Do I regret taking them...not at all, I was stuck in a major rut and those badboys really helped.

    Edit - just to add...they did help me realise how much cr4p I was eating...so, for that, I do thank them.

    The worse pill ever, if you are going to use it. Don't eat out , because you will be running to the bathroom and probably not making it. And it would look like you sat on a slice of pizza.

    My doctor likes the meal plan that ali offers, but he says NO to the pills because they can cause more problems. They do have some great sounding recipes.

    They help a little. I never had a major side effect I couldn't control but was careful what I ate with them cause my friends have had bad side effects of diarrhea. I sometimes get bad stomach aches and worry about vitamin absorption. So I only use them like once a day so I don;t get full benefit either.
