:-D I was on Duramine for 3 months, ate same food as before and lost 7kg's, got loads of energy and slept like a baby...
in the first month i only lost 1.5kh and after that the kg's just melted away. I had no side effects, did with 5 to 6 hours sleep and functioned better at work as i had more energy.
I will definately use it again

Hello Everyone,

I took Duramine about 2 years ago and it worked well. Duramine alone will not loose the weight for you. The first bit of weigh people usually loose is generally water retention. I incorporated excercise and made sure I was drinking lots of water. I also made sure That I ate breakfast everyday and at around 10am and 3pm had fruit with lunch and tea in between. When I stopped this due to 3 back injuries last year... I put the 20kg back on that I lost. I have just started back on Duramine again 2 days ago. And began eating breakfast again and drinking water. Alcohol also plays a big part for those who drink... your body retains a lot of this. I found that when I drank wine at night I got the munchies. So I am using Duramine as a support agent... At a cost of $95 (Australian $$) per 30 tablets I don't want to rip myself off... So doing a little bit of everything helps.... above and beyond... the good news is that we have all taken a step in the right direction.... Duromine isn't for everyone... but a good healthy happy life is.. :-)

Cheers,
Chris

Hi,

I have been struggling with my weight for three years. My husband is in the army, and set out and eating plan and excercises plan for me. i am 21 years old and i am 102.3 kg, 4 months ago i was only 90kg and 2 years before that i was only 70kg fitting into a perfect 10. now i struggle to fit into a size 20 Australian sizes.... for the last two years i have been taking in 800-1200 calories per day and min carbs.and am still putting on weight.
i went to a doctor who prescribed me 40mg duromine.

i have been taking duromine 40mg for 7 days now. day 1 i felt amazing and my sex drive was thru the roof. day 2 i couldnt get out of bed, slight movement made me vomit, and was experiencing serious hot and cold flushes. day 3 i was even worse, i had to catch a bus into my doctor for other reasons and the bus driver had to pull over serveral times for me to throw up. i became exteemly distant from my husband to the point where hugs and kisses where driving me insane. i could not handle the affection. which is quiet strange cos im a cuddle bear and love affection. so day 4 finally got my first good night of sleep, still felt like vomiting and dizzy..and found my self very sensitive to all kinds of things, like texture smells heat. it was weird. and this is how i have spent the rest of my time on duromine... continuous feeling sick and over heated, dizzy and spacedout having to remind my self to eat at least once aday as i feel to sick to eat at all. havent had sex with my husband in a week, as i can not stand the feeling, even tho my body wants to, my mind doesnt. which is horrible as were are trying to get me fit enough and healthy emoung to have a baby. my ovulation finished two days ago... (sad face) i have been trying to exercise but 10mins in on day 2 i fainted, since then i just feel to tired to do any thing...

7 days in and still have not lost 1 kg and my Bf still stands at 38...and wondering whether its worth feeling this sick.... can any one tell me if they have experienced this or found a way to promote more weight loss.

i've read through this whole forum and i thought i'd chuck down my thoughts for anyone else just starting or planning to use Duromine. Firstly when i asked the doctor if I could be prescribed the medication he automatically said yes. This was a huge blow to my confidence and a wake up call. He could obviously see that I needed to lose weight :( I started taking it the following day, i ate very little and when i saw yummy things like cake i wasnt even tempted to eat it, i just didnt really care about the food. I also found out that i could only really eat small portions of food. I have 2 scambled eggs for breakfast and feel satisfied. I dont really feel hungry during the day but when it gets to about 2pm, im like hmmm i should have lunch, i can never finish it. As for the side effects, my sleep has been a little troubled, but i dont really feel tired. I dont get the dry mouth but i do drink alot of water naturally. Sometimes my heart feels like it racing but it goes away and doesnt feel serious. Ive been running just about every morning as i did before i started taking Duromine.  Its been 7 days and i'm weighing myself in 3 days. I do feel better about my appearance as i never feel bloated and my tummy appears more flatter than usual. I also dont feel guilty anymore because im not eating those foods i know i shouldnt. I know the medication is disprupting my appetite and hunger levels, so i hope that i am making the appropiate changes to continue with when i finish taking Duromine. I have eggs or porridge for breakfast with lo-fat milk, i have an apple for morning tea, i have soup or dinner leftovers for lunch and protein and vegies for dinner. My portions are so much smaller and i take the time to enjoy the taste of my food, i also chew and eat alot more slowly. I have also made the consious decision to not drink. I plan to continue with Duromine for at least 3 months.

Hi Guys,

I have been on Duromine 15mg for two months, and am just about to start my third month.  The first week i lost 2.5 kg, the second week nothing.  Every week from then on i have lost between 0.8 -  1 kg.  I have had no side effects, maybe a little dry mouth in the first week, but all my craving s for sweet things has stopped from the first tablet.  I still get that hungry feeling especially at the end of the day, but realised it was true humger and not habit.  I just grab a handful of nuts, or a piece of fruit and it stops.  I walk a half an hour a day, have three meals a day (small healthy portions) and two snacks.  I've been trying to get myself into a healthy eating pattern ready for when i stop taking the tablets. I have lost 8kg so far, and hopefully another 4 this month, which will give me a good start for when i start losing weight without the tablets. :)

There's so many side effects with Duromine ai just don't know why anyone would want to go on them! Try R&D Diet Cookies. They worked for me and it's amazing how well they take away hunger and cravings so that it is easier to stay on a diet.

I have been taking 15mg for three weeks now and it started to work straight away for me by surpressing my hunger and cravings. I joined weight watchers at the same time so I could monitior seriously what I eat. I need to loose 25kg and by the time I have done that I should be a much better eater, not binging then starving or over eating which I had done for years. I have lost on average just under 1kg each week which as much as I would like to have lost 5kg in a few day. I do believe small is best in the long run. I see your post was over a year ago, did you move onto stronger tablets or stay on 15mg all the way through?

Okay well Ive been on both the 30 ml n 40 and to me the 30 doesn't really work that well compared to the 40 ml I'n the 40 I felt speedy n ya know I had energy n I lost 10 kgs in 2 weeks it was great cause I've always been a dancer until I broke my ankle put on so much weight was very depressed I got on to it n like I said it went fast but you do need to eat n drink even tho you don't feel like it cause your body does still need the food n stuff what I did is in the morning I ate oats cause it keeps you full or sometimes just a protein shake lunch salad or something ya know you don't want to be eating c**p! Dinner chicken n veggies it's simple food n I drank alot of lemon n water cause it keeps your body going tho to people who are on this I would take it only during the work days 5 days n give your body a break cause it did cause problems for my body otherwise it works well I would deff get the 40 mls

Hi, I have the 40mg and have been on it for 8 days. Nothing, No side effects, no weight loss. My son in law said he had the same thing and it just just over a week. Anyone else experiencing the same kind of thing?

Howdy, ive been on duromine 40mg for 2 weeks now and i have lost 8 kilos, i have 2 small children, so i take my tablet at 8am with water and if i am hungary a small bowl of special k for breakfast at 9.30 then i do my everyday cleaning than at lunch i have an orange because im not very hungary i drink over 2 litres of water a day i go for an hour or half hr walk an do 60 situps, than dinner i either have some dried fruit an nuts or grilled chicken an broccoli but sometimes i dont eat dinner depending on what ive done during the day. and if i dont go for a walk an do my situps i just pump the music and do some dancing its also great. ive been on duromine a few times an always lose weight from them i suppose if your not losing weight try an change your food an exercise plan. i have noticed though the last time i was on duromine i went walkin or running at 6am an just a small workout or exercise in the afternoon the weight dropped alot qucker you need to chose an hour of your day at the same time that is your exercise an stick to the same foods an eat at the same times if you become constipated or anything laxative tabs are great before bed so they work when u get up in the early in the morning
