My dr also prescribed me reductil the last time i seriously dieted (about 2yrs ago). I was also following ww so can't be sure how good they were, although i definately wasn't as hungry or had as many cravings,so i think they did help me stick to ww.
I also tried phentermine a couple of years ago but made me a bit jumpy/edgy, didn't really like it although i wasn't hungry at all on that.
I actually have Alli in the house just now, it's the over the counter version of xenical but the side effects warnings have made me too scared to take it, i'm worried in case i poop myself!! lol
Did anyone on the real xenical have any problems?
