Has anyone else taken Acomplia?

[needtoloseweight]

I was given some Acomplia tablets by my GP last week. I am really struggling to lose weight so he suggested I give these a try. I have not taken any yet as I am a bit scared of possible side effects.

I just wanted to know if anyone here has taken these, and if so, how did you get on with them? Thank you

Which ones are the Acomplia?
I had the Orlistat.

[needtoloseweight]

No, not the orlistat ones. Apparently these are fairly new out. How did you find the orlistat?

[needtoloseweight]

The drug name is Rimonabant. They are just little white tabs (20mg) and you are meant to take one every day before breakfast.

anyone?

I have been prescribed these too. Have taken only two doses so far and have been fine. Have definitely eaten less, but maybe that is as much a psychological effect as anything!

Should you maybe start this thread in the weight loss section of the talk board? Just a thought, may get more people looking at it there?
