Do pills like adios actually help?

Am considering getting some to go alongside my diet and exercise plan, but they're quite expensive so wondered if anyone else uses them and if they actually work...

I tried them, but the side-effects put me off after a while. Mind you, I was on the stronger ones as prescribed by the doctor.

I had the orlistat from the doctor. They did work and I had no side-effects. If you can stick to a very low fat diet you wont have any problems. I was more frightened of having embarassing problems than anything so if a thought entered my head to eat anything I shouldn't I never actually ate it.
The downside was when I stopped taking them if I eat anything with fat in I get pain and vommiting. I really would not bother.

there's a big difference between oristat and adios. The ones you can buy over the counter ike adios and Hoodia don't work. Alli does.

Oh yes, you are right. I was getting Adios and Alli muddled up. It was Orlistat I had.

Adios didn't work. Alli does.
