XENICAL: Side effects, ratings, and patient comments

My nurse advised me of this which is why I chose not to try the other tablets I have since lost weight on my own. Am far from lazy (i cant be with these 2) and dont eat much at all but still struggle losing excess weight. Have tried numerous different over the counter weight loss tablets over many many years (since being mid / late teens) but none of them really seem to work for me. Have always seemed to lose a bit at first then stop.
