Hello everyone, I came across this forum whilst seaching the web for information, such informative and inspiring posts.
I started xenical 2 weeks ago, and weighed 13.11. I've been sticking to the 15g or less fat per meal and consuming approx 1200 calories per day, however, yesterday i weighed in at 14.01. Obviously i'm completely disillusioned by the increase in weight, especially since i know i have been sticking to the rules 100%.
Back in January i had a neck problem which left me unable to move my upper body for a few weeks, since then my muscles have been in spasm and the nerves in my neck have left me in chronic pain. After trying a concoction of different meds that haven't agreed with me, my GP gave me amitriptyline to try for a couple of months before referring me to the musculoskeletal specialist. I have tried and increased the dose as advised by my GP, I can now sleep 13/14 hours and feel a complete zombie, my last increase was a few days before starting my xenical and after researching amitriptyline the last few days i am almost sure this is the reason i have not lost any weight and to add insult to injury they haven't really had any effect on the pain anyway, so i am going to discuss this with my GP as asap and stop the amitriptyline immediately.
Anyways apologies for my waffle and minor history but i was just wondering if anybody else had had any issues with xenical not working with medications?
I actually don't feel as bad about my gain now knowing that weight gain is a side effect of this particular med, so onwards with week 3 and look forward to a loss at the end of it
Here's hoping anyway.
