    As long as you keep the fat content in your diet down orlistat aren't too bad, they're not great but the effects are less the less fat you eat. I've had to bin mine as they were out of date!

    Thanks Jaq, this is what I was reading last night. I also read if the meal contains little to no fat, there is no point taking a dose.
    I dreamt all night I needed the loo and I am sure I had stomach cramps.

    I have just taken the first Abilify along with my usual Venlafaxine. I am going to ease up on the Orlistat, so won't take any this morning.

    What does the Abilify do?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    It's an anti psychotic, to replace quetiapine. So, for me, it will help with intrusive thoughts and ocd.

    ....and to stop me eating.
    However abilify can cause damage to organs. So if my eating doesn't change, I might have to switch back.

    I feel rubbish anyway, as I wrote in my normal thread. Urgh.

    Lithium causes damage to everything but if it works, it works in my book. Hope the Abilify does the job
