    Did I take one or two??

    Hello,

      So check this out. I must be way too excited about Alli. Today I think I took two Alli capsules for my breakfast. When I took what I thought was my first capsule - I hesitated thinking.. did I already take it? WOW.. and there is no way I was gonna go with out. So does any one know what the side effect are if I indeed swallow two not one?

    Man I hope it doesn't like double up and back fire on me. I'm under calories and fat so hopefully I didn't just cause TE's when i didn't mean to.

    UGGGGHHHHHH

    Are you using the little blue pill holder?  If not, please do.  If you didn't get the starter kit that had the holder then get yourself a small pill case.  The only way to remember for sure if you took it is to fill that container up the night before, keep it in your purse or where you prep your food.  I fill my container up at night and set it by my computer next to my cell phone and purse.  I wouldn't leave the house without my cell, so when I load up my purse it is right there.  As soon as I come home I take out my cell and place on my desk and the pill case goes right next to it.  I have my hubby pretty well trained to say "did you take your pill" when we eat dinner.  As far as the health implications of taking two at a meal.  I will be ok.  It's not like it's going to automatically give you TE's as long as you didn't go fat crazy at that meal.  I make sure I take all three a day and you can always count what is left in the bottle, knowing that they should be in even "3's".  Good Luck.

    Hi Wendy

    The prescription version of alli (Xenical) is 120 mg, which is twice the strenght of the otc version.  Studies show that there is no benefit to taking 2, but if you do, it wont hurt you.  You are just kind of wasting a pill.  So dont worry, you shouldnt have any adverse effects.
