Anyone had any luck this weekend in getting tablets?

[hobnobsmummy]

I am really struggling, have been very hit and miss with them becase I dont want to use them all up. So i'm taking one a day this week because I only have one strip left.

No my dad went into town and every chemist he could find, it appears Lincoln is out. :-( im down to one a day aswell coz i really don't want to run out.
Two chemists my dad went into advised him to tell me to go back to my doctors and get prescribed an alternative. So gonna try and get in on Wednesday and see what they say.
Likewise if you find any will you let me know? x

Yep will do, I'm hoping to see my GP tommorow, so will ask then if there is an alternative, probably what everyone else is asking tho so there wont be any of that in stock either! lol

Only alternative I can think of is double dose of alli but I think they're pretty scarce too x

 

[hobnobsmummy]

Yep I noticed that Lex,nothing in Boots or Chemists near here at all for Alli.

I would suggest going onto your local NHS/PCT website - they have a list of all the chemists in the area and start calling.

I did that this morning - for the PCT in the area in which I work and I managed to get some from the second chemist i rang. I was so excited I practically sprinted there.....lol

i asked one of my friends that live down south and asked if there were any down there and there are none. apparently there having a review in april and they dont even know when there are going to be any in. there are none in my area and was gonna ask doctor for alli but got a feeling there will be none of that either. maybe were all just gonna have to do it alone for a while. we can do it. doc says its you that losing the weight orlistat only helps a little. i too am taking one tablet a day. only got about 20 left so shud last me nearly 3 weeks x

I know........ I was sooo excited when she said they had them in, I just ran out the office. Thankfully most of my colleagues don't come in until after 10 am so i was out and back before they came in!

You can do it alone if you have to girls. I'm on day 11 xen free (I know I'm lucky that I have some if I need) & it's been ok. I think I just don't think about it & I'm so used to thinking "I can't eat that, tango" that I don't x

 

[LisaM1977]

I'm just not ready to go totally alone yet... My mind doesn't seem to engage ... Have dropped to 2 a day and will drop to 1 alli when in Vietnam I am ok with xen and alli until mid may now x
