I was thinking the same as I am also in the UK, but the FDA refused to license the drug as a result of people with no previous mental illness commiting suicide in the trials, the manufacturer Sanfoi-Aventis has decided to pull the product out of the US market completely and the license has been very much tightened up in the UK and the the rest of the EU with a view to withdrawing it. So I would stick with orlistat and maybe one of the new combinations drugs that are being considered for a license for obesity, they are zonisamide/bupropion and naltrexone/bupropion, although both zonisamide and naltrexone can have a detremental effect on mood, I tried zonisamide on its own on the basis of the trials and it made me extremely irritable.
