I'm considering Xenical (Orlistat) 120mg capsules for weight loss and I'm curious about other people's experiences. This medication claims to block about one-third of the fat you eat from being absorbed, which sounds promising. However, I've read about some serious side effects and I'm not sure if the potential benefits outweigh the risks. Has anyone here tried it? How well did it work for you? What side effects did you experience, if any? I'd really appreciate any insights or advice on how to minimize these side effects. Also, is it true that it only works with a lower-fat diet and regular exercise? I've been struggling with weight loss for a while now, so I'm hoping this might be a good solution. Thanks in advance!

I've been on Xenical for 6 months now, and I've lost 25 pounds. It's not easy, I agree. I made sure to eat a low-fat diet and exercise regularly. I had some of the unexpected side effects. Once I got used to it, it felt like I was almost eating healthy. I personally found the side effects like oily spotting and bowel movements to be quite okay and pretty manageable. It's helped control my weight and it was worth it for me.

I've been on Xenical and I am a huge fan. It works great and I'm losing the pounds. I know a lot of people hate the side effects, but it's better than losing weight.

I've been considering Xenical for my overall health, but I was wondering if it's better than other anti-obesity medications. Like Alli or something else.

I used Xenical for a few months and it worked, but the side effects were super annoying. I had to cut out all the good stuff from my diet, and I still had to deal with horrible belly pain, frequent bowel movements, and passes gas randomly. Not fun at all. Even then, I felt like dieting and exercise would probably have been better. But it was a pain to do that too. I think I'm going to try a different weight loss method.
