Hi Ladies
I started Orlistat on Thurs last week at 13st 3.
I woke up Sat morn to find I was 12st12
Go me!
Diet fine. nice and clean, but lots of oily stools etc. None of the GI side effects bother me. At all.
What does bother me which is why I have had to stop as of last night, i.e. I didnt take my evening dose or any today is... it is giving me a bit of anxiety and trmoers and making me feel edgy and unsettled, and then when I focus on that I get panicky.
Im hyper sensitive to meds anyway.
Has anyone else had anxiety or felt edgy on this....
I might re-start again once I have seen my doctor again on Thurs to maybe go to a lower doese.
Im gutted because it has worked like a dream so far and I hadnt even used my excersie armorry yet.
Please share.

Is it really just me then?
Hiya Dayna
What did you doctor say, i went to mine to discuss side effects as i got a tremor in my top lip as well as being quite absent minded at the moment!
but they said a tremor could be down to a number of things, including poor sleep, and did a memory test and i scored quite high!!!
i think sometimes its easier to put these minor symptoms down to the medication, but it can be coincidental ... interestingly my tremor went the day after i went to the hospital!

Hi Dayna,
I've not had that kind of reaction but I will say that since i've lost weight I can't seem to get warm - except my face which is always red and hot - but I'm putting that down to the menopause and the hot flushes. My hands and feet always seem to be cold nowadays.
If I ever get down to my ideal weight then I'll be blue by then :lol:
Hope you feel better, good luck
Jane
