Does Duromine really work to lose weight fast?

Side effects depends on individuals. some experience them and some don't.

I currently weigh 104kg and would love to lose weight fast as I've tried everything. Do I need to use duromine with exercise and a diet plan?

Hi, i didnt want to scare you but consider checking for pcos which is a classical explanation to your rapid gain weight at such a young age.

i would be more worried about u starving urself to death.... only eating apples and apple sauce? ur body isnt getting the proper nutrients its supposed too..

I'm on 15mg Duromine for two months and haven't seen any change at all, I'm also on cloprimine for ocd I don't know if that has stopped the Duromine from working or my dose is too low. I've had no side effects or problems sleeping. I'm a bit uns sure whether to spend another $100.00 next month or not as I feel spending $300.00 on a low income on something that doesn't work is a waste of money. What do you think?

This is my third attempt at duromine.
Ever since I had children and I have gotten older and with getting older your hormones change hence one tends to store fat in area's then where it won't budge.
First attempts on a lower strength didn't really work for me so doctor put me up to 40mg's. Now my second attempt my god yes I had the energy straight away but then I got gun hoe with so much energy I started pumping the deadly treadly exercise at home then I got a major fright my heart started racing and this scared me.
Everyone is different I would suggest keeping some type of food journal what works for you and what doesn't especially attempting to take this drug again.
Okay so my third attempt I had the sleepless nights too and the headaches in the first week. So what I have learnt that works for me and this might help someone else with my third attempt at this drug.
One if you are on a higher dose like myself try and take it as early as you possibly can! This will then help with sleep at night and lots of water too as it helps with pulling the water retention you feel at the start of taking this pill. As well as it hydrating you and been better for you. If this doesn't work go one day on one day off so your body can catch up on some much needed sleep. Or you could try on weekends been duromine free. Don't come down on yourself if you suddenly crave something sweet while on duromine this is your body even on this drug hitting a slight plateau so ways around this keep lots of fresh fruit on hand as they are natural sugars that will kick start your body again.
The way I have overcome the racing heart thing for me whilst on this drug for the third time now on day 21 I'm not exercising but I'm still remaining active and eating foods that are healthier. So by doing this I'm dropping the weight then not putting a strain on my heart and I am now gradually introducing riding my bike again and having no real issues.
Where the food/. are concerned this still has to come down to will power as well. And changing your diet patterns because lets face it for most to be in this situation to begin with due to whatever reasons medical or otherwise that made us still want to eat but the wrong things!
Yes I get days where I feel tired around one but like anything the diet pill is going to have its "lull" moments where it will go up then down. I'm lucky I'm semi retired now that when I'm feeling those "lull" moments I just go and rest for a bit. Not that I had much of a choice at 45 been semi retired but been sight and hearing impaired I'm viewed as a health and safety issue with a lot of employment.
It's okay I do get where that would still put people on edge but it's been hard on me having all this suddenly occur with my body and trying to understand it all hence then me picking up the worse habits of comfort eating.
I believe on day 21 today that it is working as the toxins are been pushed out my system with not only this drug but healthier eating more water and the cravings gave dropped right back. Once again if you feel like something from time to time do it in moderation. This is how I view things for myself.
I have the headaches the dry mouth even the crankiness but this time there is a difference been educated and been more in tune with my body when it requires something I don't feel bad about offering it too it if I'm able some people live different lives that they don't have that liberty while on this drug.
I have now broken out on my face and neck where this never happen before no real skin issues. Once again listen to my body I believe it's naturally detoxing now. And lemon water and the tea's a lot of posters are popping up really are worth while while going through this process especially when on duromine. Even keep it up after you have dropped the weight.
I don't believe in long term use of this drug though. Because once your weight is down to a manageable place your eating habits ect should have helped reprogram you again into healthy eating and general living. Once again will power at your desired weight YOU should then maintain that not a drug.
If you think your body might require three lots of duromine to get to your desired weight you should work hand in hand with your gp so he can monitor your health. After all this is still a prescription drug and can be habit forming.
Common sense plays a big roll I'm finding whilst taking duromine.
After attempt three on this drug I'm working this out for me and it is working. Everyone is different our bodies operate at different rates due to many things as mentioned above. Be kind to yourself throw out your scales as they can really screw with you holding water retention from one day to the next and allow your gp to do the weigh in's and once again its between yourself and your gp if you want to know what your weight is then sitting at. Myself personally I work on "clothing" as a indicator! So the scales don't "mind screw" me to much if I'm on a plateau whilst on duromine this works for me.
And usually burning in your mouth and been ulcers appearing means your body is dropping weight but maybe a wee too fast for some as the acid reflux can come up in many ways one been this symptom.
I hope this can help even just one person. And good luck and all the best!

Hi all!! I started duromine about 6 days ago now. Side effects disapeared on 3rd day. My appetite has increased a bit so think i will do duromine (im on 40m) every 2nd to 3rd day. My bf says ive lost a bit of weight. Its good to see that a few people on here are losing weight congratulations!!! :-). To help with duromine i spend 4.5 hours on treadmill at gym twice a week burning 1000 calories. Other days i burn between 350-500 and not eating much so it gets really hard! Just really exhausted but nothing will stop me to get to my weight goal! I will achieve. So good luck to all u guys! Being eating lots of salad. Very small portion. If my bf gets fatty food i have 2 bites so im not deprived of exciting food and then binge. Also being planning after i finish duromine. Will try burn 1000 x 4 a week lol to keep up shape. Im only on it for a month but that should be enough for me. Good luck to all of you!! :-) hope u achieve. Try do gym or exercise of some sort and eat healthy and you will lose a lot of weight like me

Wow you sound like a silly little girl 'on it' for the attention. No one wants to 'do' duromine. No one takes it every 2nd or 3rd day!!! So in six days you have lost a lot of weight. Good for you. how many tablets have you taken.... 2 or 3. most fat people learn to change their eating habits not just suddenly go to salads and keep having a couple of mouthfuls of greasy food.
You keep dreaming, do your 4.5 hours gym work twice a week that you obviously started no more than 6 days ago. Real people who need durimine to assist in weight loss because we are FAT dont BS like you. try reading your contradiction of a post. grow up stop using the medication like an upper. I started more than 50kg over weight and your little post makes you sound no more than a few kgs over your perfect size. Going to the gym is not worth it. doing extra activities to increase normal lifestyle is what assists. 1 month for you. good for you.
we in the world of actually being obese have this to use as an assistant to weight loss. We spend sometimes years getting the weight off with duromine as an assistant. OMG if only I knew I could be at my goal weight in 1 month because i was obese.
OMG duromine is for obese people only. go talk to a dietician. i suppose you want you BMI to be 17 like all the other extra skinny models. As I said you sound like a little skinny girl trying to fit into her prom dress. Any boyfriend that continues to by fatty food and let you eat it is NOT supporting your weight loss. Ask any persons partner if they are able to have greasy food near their dieting partner. Supporting the person losing weight means they give up all the nice stuff too.

Thank u. Going to start on it tomoro. Recommended by my gynae.

Hi everyone , ok so here goes.. I am female aged 25 height 168 and I weighed 102kg ( I know I know trust me, not good..) I went on duromine after hearing some work mate's talking about it, I had never heard of it before. It is a bit pricey, around $130 for a box I think it was. But after one script around 1 month I lost 7kg bringing me down to 96kg. I had a break from the duromine for several months to see if I could maintain the weight loss without it, which was no worries at all. Im back on it now to help me hopefully lose more weight. I do have many side effects though and it could never be addictive for me because I feel terrible most of the time but not unbearable. I take 1 tablet around 2pm which I find works for me because then I don't feel too bad while at work during the day. I can feel my heart beat faster and after 3 days of being on it I have dry mouth and I just find my self drinking and peeing all day lol. Mouth wash helps with dry mouth. I feel more irritated I guess too when I'm on it, so I might be on it for just 2 weeks at a time with a break in between , and with the weekends off. I agree with other comments , you will get constipation, just accept it now. I let my body have a break from the duromine on weekends and drinking tea also helps . By the time I get home from work around 6pm I often have a headache expecially if I didn't drink enough through out the day (which by this point is at least 2 liters) I find that asprin helps. Also don't forget to eat, if I skip a meal I have a worse headache at the end of the day. I find that I am a very fussy eater when on it too, I just don't want anything. I hope this really long essay I have written helps some people. It's not great to be on but you will get results.

atkins fat fast - google it. better than apples.

my suggestion is to eat healthy and go to the gym.

well im not using deromine but my wife are as described. she is also on the 30mg one and from day one she lost her appetite and got the boost of energy and confident of loosing the bit she need to loos. i think if its not working maybe try a different box or return to your doctor. Heat also plays a big role so try to keep the pills in a cool place.
