Sibutramine Weight Loss Tablets

[pixiepower04]

Hi there,

I've just been described a course of this and I wondered if anyone has had this and what has been the outcome. Were there any side effects, did it work etc.

I'm really apprehensive about taking them because we leave for Florida in just over 3 weeks and i'm worried about side effects spoiling the holiday.

Any advice would be welcome

i took xenical for a few months but the side effects were dreadful.
if these were like yours id say no way!

i looked up these and the side effects seem minimal, they say the side effects were rare.
the top main things were constipation and trouble sleeping.

does ur Dr know youre going away?
what did he advise?
there was another rare side affect of a raised blood pressure.

personally i wouldnt start the prescription till you returned from your holiday, you want to have a good time and dont want to deal with the possibility of side effects.
if theres a chance of raised blood pressure due to the tablets id want to be in the UK.

like i said i tried prescribe pills before and they didnt work for me, im now doing the slimming world plan and loving it. believe me i havent any willpower and its fab!
good luck with whatever you decide to do and hope it works for you.xxx

my sister had some diet pills, can't remember what they were called. without being to graphic, she had an issue using the loo, so stopped taking them. where you planning on losing weight before going on holiday? You could try them for a week and see how you get on, it then gives you time to get back to docs before holiday.

have you tried any eating plans i.e weight watchers with a support groups?

Xenical (Orlistat) works entirely differently from sibutramine. The former prevents fat absorption hence issues "with the loo" if you don't watch what you are eating. Sibutramine is an appetite suppressant. You need to have your BP checked monthly on it. Personally, a heck of a lot of the people prescribed either of these end up putting the weight back on after they stop them. (I have prescribed them both for various people).
