"I don't recommend this medicine for anyone. I stopped taking Alli (which is over the counter orlistat) after experiencing pain in my upper abdomen. This medication causes liver damage!!! I wish someone would have to me. I have seen specialists after specialists to determine what is wrong with me. YOU SHOULDN'T TAKE IT! Also I was diagnosed with h pylori. This bacteria in rare cases causes stomach"

"I absolutely love this medicine. It encouraged me to get moving and start exercising. I guess my genes impacted my obesity so when you are obese you could have visceral fat too and that's very dangerous and can have cardiovascular side effects. I went through the side effects and now I'm a happier person. The medicine is not the cause but the hand when I'm drowning in no interest in activities simply because I got tired and my muscles like stiff but right now my heart thanked me for being on this medicine. I don't care about the futuristic hype behind this medicine but I'm simply starting to self-medicate with exercise (Aerobic exercise) instead of doing opioids and just want to feel the void. Give it a try!"
