does xenical really work?

with your health issues you really need to check with your doctor before using that. \nwhy dont you exercise (more?) and eat healthy instead of taking that?

it does work but the concentration of hoodia you are getting in these pills varies. hoodia is very very expensive and you have to test them out.

Having tried pretty much every diet pill known to man heh, this is what I found.\nThese are just my *personal* experiences, these pills work differently for everyone.\n\nMetabolife - curbs hunger a bit, gives whole body a warm feeling as if metabolism is higher, little bit of nausea and anxiety, fairly mild long-lasting (half a day).\n\nHoodia - did nothing at all for me\n\nStacker (2 or 3) - makes heart race, body heats up tons, no appetite at all, jitters, nausea and anxiety, intense and brief in action (few hours)\n\nXenadrine (my favourite) - reduces appetite and makes it manageable, feeling of fullness, little bit of nausea, general mild long-lasting feeling. (half a day)\n\nHerbalean - somewhere between Stacker and Xenadrine.. heats up whole body, slightly sick feeling with very little appetite, works for a few hours.\n\nPhentermine - did nothing for me (but I got it online so might have been fake)\n\nOverall, these days I use Xenadrine alternated with Herbalean... before a work out I use Stacker. This is definitely not healthy, and has given me chest pain with palpitations at times. However, I was miserable enough with the weight that it was worth it to me. Gone from 240 lbs to 150.\n\n----edit----\nmeant to add that my weight loss attempt also included hardcore working out, and very little food, I don't think the pills themselves made me lose weight, but rather assisted me in curbing the hunger from not eating, and giving me the energy to exercise. On their own they'd probably do nothing at all.

It really all depends on the individual taking them. I've gone through many different kinds with no real results but as soon as I tried Zantrex 3, it's worked wonders! You just have to experiment to see what works well for you.

I used those for a while.  But my sides starting hurting and I quit.\nDiet pills never work, but seems we always hope there is one pill that'll do it.

I tried them and didn't notice that they had any effect. I do use hydroxycut and notice that they do work. They don't make you lose weight just by taking them. They do speed up your metabolism but you have to eat healthier and exercise.

I myself have not taken it, but a few others that I know that are close to me are taking it currently.  In their opinion, it is working, although it takes a while to kick in for full effectiveness.  Just keep taking it if you've been prescribed it.

Yes, it can work well if you follow the dosage requirements and take it on an empty stomach in the morning followed by cardio. I took it sporadically for years with excellent results. However, these days there are several other products out there which are outshining Hydroxycut such as Lipo 6, hotrox, xenadrine to name a few. \n\nThey're not for everyone. Many can't handle any metabolic enhancers due to increased irritability and jitters. Please try a sample before you buy a whole bottle.

Vistaril works for me - but it's gonna take more than a few days -\nyou have to take it for about 2 weeks before you see results.\nI am  on 50 mg., I take it at night to help me sleep with some\nother meds as well.\n\nI find it works well.  You just have to give it some time.\nThere are no quick fixes here...

I agree with everyone so far. These products are usually unlikely to work at all, and sometimes have negative side effects. Nothing works better than regular sensible exercise and good eating.

Newspaper readers around the U.S. are again being bombarded in early 2006 by ad inserts in their Sunday papers touting "The New Skinny Pill," which closer reading reveals as the supplement Zyladex Plus.\n\nAccording to the ad, which features the misleading photo of what appears to be a prescription drug bottle, this amazing pill "is now available in the United States without a prescription" and will enable you to lose up to 15 pounds a week. The ad claims "clinical studies prove it." \n\nThe ad, however, provides absolutely no information about what is in this pill or how it works, and its manufacturer Medlab has no website where this information can be found. When you phone the number in the ad that you are urged to call 24 hours a day to order the product, and ask what the active ingredient in the pill is, the operator tells you "I actually do not have that information available."\n\nBut when this pill was being pushed several years ago, it was one of the many containing the combination of the amphetamine-like compound Ephedrine (since banned by the U.S. FDA) and caffeine.\n\nFurther research suggests that the active ingredient in the current formulation is bitter orange, a common substitute for ephedrine. Extracts from the peel of bitter orange contain the chemical synephrine, a substance similar to ephedrine, and it may contribute to weight loss by increasing metabolism. \n\nIt is unclear whether bitter orange acts similarly in raising heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure, but if it does, Zyladex Plus could be risky for people with arrhythmias and high blood pressure.\n\nWhile the ad misleadingly seeks to invoke the good name of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by saying Zyladex Plus has been "approved for release by a FDA REGISTERED laboratory," needless to say the product -- like virtually all supplements -- has NEVER been judged for effectiveness or safety by the FDA

Yes, CVS is selling Xenical.  You need to get a prescription from your doctor first.

Okay there is 1 pill as I've stated on many pages, that does work and is WATCHED BY THE FDA!!! it's "HOODIA"...it was a cactus that they used in South Africa when their tribes would go on hunts, it's what they would eat when they had nothing to eat, it kept them healthy and slim...look it up on yahoo...I use the "smartburn" *with hoodia in it* and lost 15lbs in 2 weeks, this diet pill was posted all over the news including 60minutes, it's really incredible...check it out :o)

Xenical. Use it only if you are clinically obese. Consult a GOOD doctor first.
