Injections: Has anyone had anxiety side effects similar to Orlistat?

Hi all,

Last year I started taking Orlistat tablets. Whilst taking them, I struggled massively with anxiety. Everything was pretty much ok in my life, so taking the tablets was the only thing that was different at the time. I was worried, paranoid and crying constantly over little stuff. As soon as I stopped taking them I was fine and back to my normal self.

I’m looking at weight loss options again, so wanted to ask if any of the injections have caused side effects such as anxiety?

Also if anyone knows why the Orlistat causes anxiety I’d be interested to know too! Although it’s not added to the common side effects, it seems plenty of others have experienced it too from reading online.

Thanks 😊
