OOOOhh thats strange cos i went to docs wanting reductil and he wouldnt give them to me and gave me xenical. BUt i guess each patient is different

good luck hun

 

[RavenMoon]

what were the reasons for not letting you ?

 

[Redkoala]

I heard reductil can cause depression and even sucidal, i would rather s**t my pants then feel that low. My doctor gave me xenical over reductil. Each case if different i guess, keep your chin up x

 

[chicklet73]

i agree with Red! (lol)..
seriously, maybe you could see a different doc? I just went to see a nurse at my gp surgery and she spoke to doc for me and he agreed.
Good luck if you decide to try again x

Aw chin up Hunny my first doctor refused to give me Xenical too - he also said I'd never make a size zero model but would make a good farmers wife cos i'd get a lamb under my arm!

Try speaking to one of the practice nurses - we have a specialist weight management programme now.

Good Luck

Sorry but this made me pmsl

 

[westgirl]

lol made me laugh too - think that was his idea really!

 

[Dietingdon]

He said the statistics of xenical and weight maitainence weren't great, so that's the reason he wouldnt let me have them. He said Id be better of joining a slimming class.

i think you can buy them online... not sure it's something i'd do, and not really sure how reputable the source... but i'm sure other people do it?

 

[Redkoala]

Have you tried looking at the over the counter Alli?

 

[Beki]

oooh yes.. alli would be a good choice i think... it's half the strength, but still works really well so i've heard! x

I looked on an internet site for this and they r about £104 per month

 

[Beki]

O....M...F...G!!! that's extortionate! i wonder how many people actually pay that sort of money?!

 

[kae]

i know!!! its a r8 ripp off!... aparently thats what it costs the nhs to buy them too!....alothough dont quote me on it i just going on what my mummy said and shes a nurse so i just believed her haha

xxxxxxxxx

 

[Redkoala]

*thinks he should get his xenical on ebay and make some mooley*

What you say?
- huh nothing
Thought you said something
- nah not me.
Oh ok
- hehe

While i was in dubai i had a cheeky word with one of the pharmasist in one of the big posh malls and they were selling a months supply.. of xenical........... over the counter for..... £48 quid!!

 

[Beki]

oooh that's about the same price as alli isn't it! still makes it expensive, but a lot more 'do-able' than UK prices!
