2400 mg of orilstat
i have taken 40 alli pills or 2400 mg of orilstat in the past 2 hours maybe 4 hours what should i do any symptoms to be aware of feel fine sweating and feel very hot.
I'm sorry for misunderstanding. I definitely don't get some people's sense of humor. I don't get one of my younger brother's and he definitely doesn't get mine. It's sometimes harder over the internet too -you can miss a lot of cues. Sorry!
I can tell you're being facetious now though.
The doctor has given you advice. I think he also assumed that you would go to the er. Any pain is worth having checked out, especially if it is severe or long-term. Given your history of having taken those pills it would be worth getting checked out. They may have caused some damage. On the same token, they may not have. Who knows?
You also said you were hot and sweaty, these could be signs of an infection. Infections if not treated can kill. This could be from your blockage (or your bowel may have perforated)??
My personal opinion is that you should see your doctor or go to the er.
Most health professionals would advise the same. Most won't be prepared to offer a diagnosis without first assessing you. Most would direct you towards a doctor who would be in a position to evaluate, ask questions, do tests, etc.
Waste your time in the er vs waste your time here. You could have had answers by now. Just a thought.
I just read this. Any unexplained moderate to severe abdominal pain that has persisted for more than a few hours warrants a doctor's opinion.
Please stop procrastinating and see a doctor.

i was kidding im not going to ask you for help idk even know who you are, its called being sarcastic. also i wanted a doctor on this site to give me advice before i waste my time in an er for moderate pain in my stomach and a tearing, throbbing pain under my right rib cage, but i do appreciate your concern and your help i just want a doctor or paramedic or nurse or someone to give guidance.
I'm not a doctor. I am a lay person with severe limitations.
I'm prepared to listen to emotional stuff but I personally can't help you with your physical complaints. You need to see a doctor and let them assess and treat the problem. How could I, even if I did have the skills and experience -which I most definitely don't have, treat you from here?
I know it can be extremely uncomfortable, but sometimes we do need to see these people to get things sorted. In the long-term it works out for the best.
I'm sorry if my post was a bit curt. I was perhaps feeling a bit frustrated at the time due to a particularly stressful day (and today I have a pinched nerve in my shoulder which is sore). Just like you, or anybody else on the net, can't make my shoulder, neck and hand any better, I can't make your physical problems go away.
From what you write it sounds like you need to address the small bowel blockage.
The ER can diagnose and treat your problem (if appropriate) or refer you to someone who can help.
I went to the ER last year with a breast abscess. They take your vital signs (blood pressure, etc) then you wait for an inordinate length of time then a doctor will assess you and take it from there. I had all the pus drained from my breast and was given IV antibiotics. It was pretty frustrating as it was over the Christmas period too.
Although doctors also have limitations most of them are pretty good and can help treat or teach us how to manage our symptoms.
A bowel blockage may need surgery. I'm not sure. This is why you need to see a medical doctor. In not sure a psychiatrist will be much good in this case either.
Please if nothing else, go and see your doctor. Sometimes if we leave things they only get worse.
I am trying to help you help yourself. Only you can help you. I know this is hard but it is also true. You need to do this for you, we can't do it for you.
Will you let me know how you get on? I'm concerned that you're having such a hard time.

jaquta i thought you could help me?
Diagnose and treat your condition/ complaints.
Don't mess with your body, you only get one. You should get this sorted by a doctor.

MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
By the time you read this you have probably already gone to the emergency room. I don't think anybody is familiar with what happens in with an overdose like you have taken so I suggest that you worked very closely with a gastroenterologist to determine the long-term effects and what you might be able to do to mitigate those effects.
People do lots of different things for many different reasons. Sometimes I don't think people think about the consequences and sometimes people aren't even aware that there are consequences (so don't think about them).
Paxiled, I think you need to be careful when talking about what may or not be effective. I think if that were me, depending on my motive and motivation at the time, I would be strongly tempted to try more lethal means.
I can understand how weight could drive someone to such measures. I am extremely sensitive about my weight and an increase of 100 g can even seem intolerable. I can even understand how some people even try to cut off their own fat. Weight, I think, is just one more example of a persons failure. It is also tangible whereas the feelings aren't (or don't appear to be).
Try telling any fat person not to lose weight rapidly when they want it gone yesterday.
I too would be interested in hearing more about the problem. (Alright, so I'm very nosy).
I think Dr Gould will be able to point you in the right direction.
He also responds to posts on the emotional eating expert forum if you think that may feel safer for you.
Also, he has a web site www.shrinkyourself.com which you may find beneficial.
I have purchased one of his books and I'm finding it extremely helpful.
If you would like to chat privately about suicide, drug overdoses, weight, etc I would be happy to listen and hopefully try and point you in the right direction.
(I have a history with all of the above and are happy to share my experiences if they help others).

Why did you take that much? If you're trying to commit suicide, this is a bad choice; it's not that toxic short term. They weren't able to kill a rat with it short term. As for effectiveness, it says right on the website that no added benefit was seen in studies beyond the recommended dosage of 120mg three times a day. And since it leaches fat soluble nutrients out of the body, it isn't particularly good for you anyway and should only be used if you're extremely obese, and if so, it's not healthy to lose weight quickly. Please tell us why you took so much after you see a doctor so Dr. Gould can counsel you on your real problem.
Hi. Hot and sweaty are signs of a drug overdose. I would strongly urge you to visit your local ED.
I read that liver toxicity was a problem with that particular medication so in excess it may do significant damage. Best to get it treated early. Being placed on a liver transplant waiting list is possibly the last thing you, or anybody else, would want.
