Since having starting Xenical 13 days ago I have really been struggling to sleep. Wondering if anyone has had this? Doesn't seem to be listed as 1 of the side effects.

Just wondered if it may be the pills affecting my sleep or something else I need to look into.

Thanks xx
 
I havent' suffered with it. Have you been making any other changes to your routine or feeling stressed etc?
 
Hello!

i did struggle with this actually! im sure i read it in the side effects some where! It lasted a few weeks for me i used to try everything warm bath ho drink etc to try an wind down. A good routine should work well too!

maybe you could mention it to your GP when you go next

Glad I'm not the only 1! I will do thanks xx
 
The insomnia goes away. I didnt mention it to the doc, I didnt want to give her any excuses to take me off the tabs.
 
The time is now 4.14am. :( i feel your pain hehe.
 
hey, ive been on them for 5 days and i am feeling it too. its really odd, goin to bed at 11 and not falling asleep till 3, the weird thing is im making up not over tired! odd. did you mention it to the doctor laura?? what did they say, im seeing the nurse on fri so i am going to mention it then xx
 
It's weird how the pills affect us in different ways isn't it. i mean we're all basically the same make up!
 
well apart from katie :D
 
Insomnia is one of my curses, with or without Xenical, but odd as it may be I seem to have been getter better with it since being on it, go figure! I think it is because I have been worrying about my obesity and feel better for doing something positive about it the other tip I would give is:

Save some calories for a nice pre-bed snack and do something relaxing before going to bed. I normally get into my night rags and play on the Pooter for a while, catching up with the forums then having a game of Solitaire or something whilst having a nice low cal Sandwich, then off to bed, it is working for me.
