My doctor wasn't excited when I told him I wanted phen, so he wanted me to first try Xenical. I was scared to try it because of the kinda gross side effects. But I never got any of those side effects. You know, if you eat fatty or greasy foods you're supposed to be running to the bathroom or going in your pants. I don't think I really eat super fatty/greasy foods so I put it to the test - I had a double Whopper and fries. Nothing happened. On about my 5th dose I got a fever and sore throat. I didn't know if it was from the Xenical or not so I took it again the next day. Same thing - fever and sore throat again! My doctor took me off the Xenical and finally gave in to my Phen demands! I start the Phen tomorrow and I am hoping to not have any weird side effects. I'm expecting to be a bit "wired" and not being able to sleep and being thirsty. I hope that's all that happens!!
