Hi! The doctor says I need to lose 20lbs within 6months. She gave me a diet plan and said that I need to take Xenical. Is this normal for overweight PCOS women? What are your experiences with Xenical?

Hi,

I tried the Xenical for a couple months and the only thing it did for me was keep me in the bathroom alot. I may have lost 5 pounds at the most, but I put them back on in no time. I don't know how many others it might have worked for all I know is it did not help me at all. Sorry don't mean to sound discouraging. Hope this helps some.

I've been on Xenical for the past three weeks. I've lost three pounds but I dont think it has anything to do with the xenical.

My doctor gave me a prescription for 3 months but I wont be getting the next two. Its too expensive and not doing what I thought it would do...like the previuos noter I was kept in the bathroom a lot.

It probably depends on the person. I posted about it over on the diet and exercise forum and some people replied and it worked out for them.

Hope it does work out for you.
