Orlistat :: Dosage Regarding The Amount Of Fat You Are Consuming
Nov 26, 2009
I have started on orlistat today. I took one with my breakfast (bran flakes and semi skimmed milk) I went to a buffet this afternoon so didn't take one at lunch time ( I had weight watchers soup). I had a small piece of quiche, some weight watchers crisps and a tomato at the do!
I'm about to take one before my dinner of pasta and veg in chopped tomatoes, followed by low fat yogurt. I have also had a couple of biscuits, I've written it all down and estimate I will have had about 30g of fat. It's made me really look at what fat is in what I am eating as I am worried about the famous side effects.
I read on another site that some recommend just taking the tablets with lunch and dinner until you know what you know what you doing regarding the amount of fat you are consuming - has anyone on here done that?
I have quite a lot of weight to lose so I'm hoping this will work for me. I've been "dieting" for thirty years and more - always losing it and then putting even more back on.
I've read about some inspirational weight loss on this site so I'm keeping my fingers crossed (and some toilet paper in my knickers just in case) that I will lose well too!!

Jan-12-2014 i had a protected sex with a women, whose HIV Status i don't know. I didn't have any sexual contatcs after that. On June-10-2014 i took HIV Rapid test(result non-reactive).
June-21-2014 I took ANTI HIV 1&2 (ELISA) test in DDC LAL pathlab.
observed value 0.20(range1.0 Non-reactive)
June-26-2014 I tested for all STD's(result-non reactive)
July-10-2014 I tested again for ANTI HIV 1&2(ELISA)
observed value:0.22(Range1.0 Reactive).
AUG-05-2014 I tested again for ANTI HIV 1&2(ELISA)
observed value:0.10(Range1.0 Reactive).
Even Though my 205th day HIV test after exposure is non-reactive, i am still suffering from frequent fatigue,tiredness and IBD.
what are these observed values? does these observed value represents that i have HIV antibodies in small amount? or the HIV antibodies are not yet produces in my case? if not then why am getting these values? can i trust these test results? do i need further testing?
I have consulted two doctors so far. I couldn't get a clear explanation on my results. They always say like 'You are highly unlikely to get HIV'. due to this i got ANXIETY DISORDER. I have been living in fear for the last 3 months and am totally depressed. So please help me to get a clear idea. I just want live normally.

Does everyone know that diazepam comes in liquid form, doctors must do. Guidelines state to drop at the patients pace and when they are ready. But if you drop 10% from say 10mg to 9 mg ><10% of 9 mg would not be another 1mg it's .9 this where the liquid comes in useful as its easier to be more accurate.

Hi. Can you help me with something? In the sea of the heart pills and blood pressure pills, my wife has another medicine in her "collection". She was feeling bad and she went to see her doctor. He was not there, so one older lady received her. She told her that everything is OK with her but that she needs to take Atorvastatin for a while. What that means - for a while?
Can you tell me who is prescribed with this medicine and do you even have a idea what is the proper dosage?

For nearly 3yrs I was on sertraline, at the beginning it was awful. Dizziness, lack of interest, mood swings tired loss of appetite throwing up headaches and so on. I started at 25mg till we found the right dosage for me and that was 150mg. At this stage I was ok no anxiety, no panic attacks no fear no suicidal thoughts none of what I felt before. All of that was gone. I was me again. I felt good. When I started I was 58kg went down to 42kg had to wear kids cloths. Once I found the right dosage and started feeling good again I had everything back including my weight. Last year because I was feeling good I decided to stop it. My Gp told me it was too soon but I heard so much about the tablets I just wanted to stop them.
After a few weeks I realised was to soon and asked my Gp to put me back on them. So I'm back on them and this time I went up very quickly. I started straight at 50mg then 100 then 150 and back to 200 mg. I promise you it's worth going through all this side effects because after you will feel good again. This is my positive story to all of you. I really really hope it works for all of you as it did for me.

Long story short, I have two autoimmune diseases and I have death with chronic pain for about two years now. My doctor has me on 20MG oxycodone one every 6 hours. For the last month or so i have been taking two pills three times a day. So 2/20mg 3 times a day.
So when my doctor gives me 120 for a month it doesn't last and he know that I Have been using more for the unbearable pain. How do i Go about telling him that I can't keep staying at the dose he has prescribed because I am not getting any relief. I don't drink or do drugs and I have a bright future if I can keep my pain manageable. I am just concerned about what to say to my doctor without him thinking I am an abuser or him just prescribing the dose he has been prescribing that isn't working unless I double up.
How would you go about this?
Also, what is the maximum amount of oxycodone one can take in a day I find that a lot of my nasty pain comes from breakthrough pain.

I've been on Lisinopril 20 mg. twice per day for more than 5-7 years now and works well on my HB. However, recently I'm getting mild headache along with swirling-feeling once awhile. I took on HB monitor(Reli-on) this morning and it was surprisingly high, more than 140 when I administered HB monitor twice.
My Dr. appt. is two months away and the Lisinopril 20mg. rx has two more refills.
Just wonder '2 tabs' Lisinopril 20mg. is low-dosage? Normally, what dosage most of HB folks have been on?

I am bleeding sizable out of my anus every bowel movement, it's freaking me out. I'm still trying to recover. How should I approach toilet breaks im general? Keep passing stools even as I bleed a considerable amount without a care?
Just a bit of background, I'm currently 18 and male. Since the issue I have right now is more than likely haemorrhoids, I think it's also important for me to say that my granddad died from cancer (specifics which I do not know) but my mum has told me he used to go to the toilet and lose blood to the point of passing out during his battle with cancer.
A few weeks ago, I started to notice small patches of blood on my toilet paper as I wipe, I paid quite little attention to it at first but was absolutely shocked when once, blood started coming out along with the stool. To describe, a line of blood would follow the walls of each stool and blood would drip out from my anus and change the bowl of water into red. The blood is also bright red. There was a slight sting as the stools moved.
I approached my mum who's a trained pharmacist and she diagnosed me with having internal haemorrhoids since there weren't any physical bumps along my sphincter muscles and decided to put me on a good diet. I'm now having quite alot of vegetables and eating a good 8 or so nutritional tablets such as omega oil as an example.
But the problem still persists and I'm still seeing blood. literally in the way I've just described, the problem hasn't returned to its previous condition of just a patches on tissue.
I am absolutely frightened to even use the toilet and it's getting to the point thinking about it makes my heart race and my knees weak. Imagine going to the toilet itself. It's bothering me both physically and mentally. To make things worse, I have my high school finals in just about a week from now!
How do I go about this problem right now? Should I just keep passing stools even when I see blood coming out at a sizable amount?

I had unprotected sex December 5th & 6th, and according to a few period apps I'm about 2 days late - but Friday when my period would be expected I had some blood, enough to just wear one tampon a day and then Saturday and Sunday only a very small amount of bright red blood. I'm not sure if that sounds like spotting or my period, or if that's a sign of pregnancy? I'm not on birth control, a few days before my period was supposed to come I did start an antibiotic and a probiotic for strep throat.

For the past 2 months when I have been masturbating I have what I can only describe as and ejaculation mixed with copious amounts of precum, I will be wanking (I tend to have long wanks somewhere between 5 minutes to over an hour) and after about 10-15 minutes (depending on how turned on I am) I get the feeling that I need to pee and then I start to shoot a couple of squirts of cum then a folly (I actually think flood would be the right term) of precum. It doesn't really feel like an orgasim and I stay rock hard after until I finally cum.
I have been doing a few penile exercises lately, just some light jelqing and some kegels. I haven't injured myself or felt any pain, so I wouldn't say that I have damaged anything.
I'm 23 relatively healthy and "clean the pipes" nightly.
I'm not complaining as it feels good and provides real good lube, it just gets messy
If anyone has any idea on what this could be that would be great, as I have done some research and I haven't turned much up.

I’ve been a type 2 diabetic now for about two years and over the past few months my blood sugar levels have been steadily creeping up. I haven’t changed anything and what I eat stays the same, but for some reason it’s getting higher. Anyway, my docs decided that he wants to increase the amount of metformin that I take and I’m worried that I’ll get side effects, not feel great, and that it won’t make a difference.

I've been on 20mg citalopram for several years with no problems. Had odd moment of anxiety usually related to a new situation but very rare. Recently had a lot of stress in my life and felt very anxious, trouble eating etc. went to doc who increased citalopram to 30 mg. Day 6 of increase have had nausea, extreme tiredness, diarrhea (had when anxious). Anxiety has diminished but not liking other side effects. My doc says give another week as usually takes two weeks for increase to work and side effects to go. Does this sound right?
