Yes, I didn't have any of the usual unpleasant side effects. If you stick to a very low fat diet you wont have.

I lost weight, but the problems started when I tried to stop taking it. I had a lot of pain, and my gallbladder stopped working and now has to be removed.

Can anyone say more about how it works? Lynli - sorry to hear about what has happened, is your condition linked directly to the drug? Does it put a strain on your liver then? I hope you recover soon and best wishes.

Okay, I just looked up the wiki link if anyone is interested.

It gave me an arse like the Japanese flag.
