Medication has made me put on so much weight that I am considering refusing it. I hate my appearance so much.
I have heard about xenical and seen it for auction on e-bay... does anyone know anyting about it?
Without sounding too dramatic ~ I'm desperate.
Love & Peace

" I was on Xenical for a while, and you really have to watch what you eat, or you will be in trouble. It blocks the fat that you eat from being absorbed into your body, and you have to get rid of it somehow, if you understand what I mean. So when you eat foods high in fat, you will have a lot to get rid of. Keep it in mind. It just wasn't worth it to me. It was disgusting to be honest. Good luck! "

" There is not a pill, powder or liquid that will change body composition! All these are are laxatives disguised as weight loss miracles! You have to do the work to reap the benefits. "

" Is this like the Alli? I wouldn't call it a laxative, but it's not a miracle drug. You do have to count calories and exercise to lose the weight, it just blocks like 25% of the fat intake. You have to run to the bathroom if you overdo the fats! I do not take it, but I did do alot of research on Alli...which is now over the counter. "

" Orlistat is marketed as Xenical (RX necessary) and as an over-the-counter drug as alli which is available in drugstores without a prescription.
I would seriously caution you from purchasing any medication on eBay, please consider how dangerous this could be.
Here are some links to general information (the first is wikipedia definition and the second is the drug manufacturer's site.

I wish you the best of luck, take care.
