Orlistat And Alcohol? Jack Daniels And Coke
May 4, 2013
Hello, I am new to this and I have just been prescribed Orlistat. I started taking them today and so far everything has gone smoothly. Next weekend is my best friend's birthday so we are going out for drinks. I usually drink Jack Daniels and coke. I'm guessing the coke wouldn't be a good idea while taking the Orlistat so I'm wondering if I switched it for diet coke and drank JD & diet coke would this be ok, or should I just skip the Orlistat on that day?

I am currently 16 years old and I have recently begun to realize some worrying things about my penis. It doesn't have all of the feeling in it now and sometimes when I'm sitting down, it goes numb like when your leg falls asleep. I first tried jacking off in 7th grade(around four years ago) and have been doing it almost daily sometimes more than twice a day up until recently. Now when I jack off I don't need to have a full erection for an orgasm. I can't even get fully erect anymore. It gets about 75% and then stays for like a minute and then when it stops getting attention, it gets soft so quickly. I am very worried because me and my girlfriend tried sex and I couldn't do it because I couldn't stay hard. She got me to the 75% hard like when I jack off and then whenever we thought it was time to penetrate her I went soft almost immediately after she stopped touching it or when I stopped so I couldn't achieve sex. My penis looks healthy and I feel no pain or anything.

I am possibly thinking of paying for a private home detox. They have suggested it will be using valium as opposed to Librium. I was just wondering if anyone else on here had been through one?

So it's been 3 weeks since I started orlistat and slimming world. First week loss 8lb, second week loss 5lb, third week loss 3lb. I am not eating much fat at all and am wondering if the tablets are doing anything for me? I'm really disappointed with only 3 lb loss this week. I know the weight loss will slow down, however I am very overweight, doing slimming world AND orlistat, shouldn't the weight be falling off? I haven't cheated once in these three weeks! My body has gone from having around 3000 cals a day to just 1000 cals plus exercise!

I'm really keen on losing weight after having had a baby 2 months ago. I've used Orlistat before and it's been with great results. I'm currently breastfeeding exclusively so not sure if it's wise to start on the tablets again or not?

I'm fairly new to Orlistat having started beginning of october having not much luck on diets as I luuurve my food. But I had decided to go to my doctor and ask for help and she recommended I try these tablets.
I've struggled a couple of times trying to find the right foods but i'm slowly getting there i certainly have cut down on eating all the crap and stuff i love to eat but without totally having to give it all up by changing my fat/calorie intake. I have experienced the overload of fat once and it was not pretty lol, I will not be having a pizza for a while thats for sure. Its definitely a trial and error process just finding what foods work and wot doesn't for me and how much i can eat of it. I for one know these tablets are a god send as it stops me from having all those fatty lovely tasty foods that i know I shouldn't be eating and more of what i should be.

i have a IUD (coil) fitted so i very rarely have a period and if i do it only lasts a day or two and its very light, but this week i've had the worse pains and then i've had one, this might just be a coincidence as i only started taking the tabs 2 weeks ago.
i know its listed as a side effect in the leaflet but have many of u had a problem with your periods?

I'm looking to start orlistat this week but after reading over everyone's experiences I'm a bit nervous to start. Are the side effects really that bad as I don't want to make a fool out of myself at work!

Basically, it seemed like it was at first then it just stopped, for ages (months) and it made me miserable because I was doing everything I could right, which was very difficult for me because I have an eating disorder. When I realised nothing was happening after all that hard work, combined with stress and misery (i have bpd and an anxiety disorder on top of the ed) I ended binging repeatedly. So in the end I just gained weight.
What do I do now? I've been trying so hard for the past year, exercise healthy eating instead of starving myself like i would usually resort to, and then orlistat. and then there was barely any difference in the end. I've now gained 10lbs from my start weight.
Is there any option after Orlistat, medication wise. I don't really want to contact my doctor until I know this as I'm embarrassed but I couldn't find any information online. I'm not heavy enough for a gastric band and I don't think that would necessarily even help me as it wasn't overeating that was the problem.
