Does Duromine really work to lose weight fast?

Hi all, I am 18 years old and on the 20th December 2012 I was diagnosed with goodpastures syndrome which is an auto immune disease which caused my lungs to bleed, had shortness of breath, spitting out blood etc. I am 185cm tall and weighed in at 89kg (there abouts) before I went into hospital for a couple months. The first week of hospital I had lost 8kgs (so i was down to 80 or so kgs) until I was diagnosed with my disease and started my treatment which is chemotherapy and high dose prednisone (steroids) which I have to continue taking for another 6-7 months. Now what the steroids do is suppress inflammation to my lungs but as a side affect it turns most of the muscle in your body into fat, increased appetite and acne all over my body. As most people would know, hospital food isn't that great yet not fattening... So I was on 80mg of prednisone which is a lot! For the two months I spent in hospital. I weighed myself when I was being discharged and weighed 100kg!!! I had lost 8 kgs yet put on 20kgs! By the end of hospital so I really put on 12kgs all up. Thanks to steroids! I still weighed 100kgs and was depressed so i went to my doctor and he agreed to let me try duromine 30mg. I got my prescription and took my first capsule at around 4pm yesterday (31/03/2013) Not even thinking that I should have taken it early morning to make it easier to sleep at night. (a few sleeping tablets knocked me out well good) I weighed myself in the morning at 8am today and in 16hours I weighed 98.9 I lost 1.1kgs. I took another cap at around 8am. I then weighed myself just before at 10:30 pm and I weighed 97kg! I had lost 3kgs in 30hours! It's looking very promising and the only side affect is my mouth is constantly dry. Yet feel full of energy even though I just worked a 60+ hour week My only concern is that duromine is a suppressant so when I run out of them my old habits might come back ie eating more cause of steroids. But I'm really only using duromine as a short term solution to help me adjust my diet. And lose some weight while I'm at it. A lot have people have negative views on in but it's helping me and although it's only been two days I can already feel the difference! Woke up at 6am (2/4/13) weighed in at 96kg! Dropped another kg over night !

your all mostly saying you get duromine precribed by your gp ,why then is it telling you were to buy curious because if i can get from my gp i would im desparate feel like just giving my life up to fatness please help me someone

Hi, Duromine really works...it can work for as long as you want it to work. Duromine is a stepping stone towards a lifestyle change. I've been on Duromine since the the End of February 2013 and im currently still. The secret to my new friend Duro...you need to greet him first thing in the morning (take one talbet early in the morning before your breakfast) he likes me to have my friend Water around all the time cause then his most active (drink lots of water in between) giving you the strength to be active...you dont have to join a gym if you cant afford...daily walking or running will be just fine as long as you doing some sort of cardio...

I've been using the 15mg and had no side effects.

Remember I said earlier its a life style change. So my friend Duro proved to me that he will not work the way i want him to work if im indulging in Alcohol. Now during the month of March i was going through the period of Lent on the Christian Calendar(preparation for Easter).During this time i gave up drinking while having my friend Duro around. By the end of March everyone around me could see the results. My eating style has changed. I have my breakfast in the morning and fruit in between. I dont eat any solid heavy foods after 19h00. I've cutt out on sugar completely...black coffee no sugar, black tea no sugar. No more fast foods. Eat healthy...snacking on bananas is a filler...you can feel the difference when eating healthy. Your healthy eating dont have to be all that expensive. My begining weight was 88.5kg and i'm now at 79.8Kg.

So my friend Duro(Duromine) really works. I'm getting my confidence in my life back...this has given me reason to put myself out there...Life is beautiful...so are we...Lets owe it to ourselfs and make that change...Do it for you...You are so worth it...

If you havent tried him yet...Stop at your GP and ask him for a perscription and give Duromine a try...You never know until you try...

hey there, I went on the duromine and had the same symptoms that you had with the no water drinking - was on them for 2 weeks and was rushed to hospital - force urself to drink water as it will really f**k up your kidneys etc I may be just the one unlucky b****r who has had this effects whilst on the tablets - but it scared the sh*t outta me - i honestly couldn't breathe properly, felt like my body was on fire and my heart was going crazy to the point it almost stopped beating - so just be careful - but if it works for you then awesome :D and good luck in reaching your goals!

I started taking them yesterday. Didn't eat much but I'm so constipated. I'm on the 30mg. Wish me luck.

Been using duromine 40 mg great fantastic took 8 years ago to move excess pregancy weight it worked then and is working now after baby number four I dropped 5 kg in two weeks I have been trying to loose the weight thru diet gym and the stupid rapid loss diet nothing worked. Finally it started to shift started at 79 down to 74 my goal is 64 kg

Thank you to all that have shared on this forum.  I started taking Duromine 30mg today and already i'm very thirsty and a little nauseaus.  I've been working out for the last 9 months but my weight keeps fluctuating, I lost 13kg but have gained 10kg back and I know its because I dont eat very healthily.  I prefer to snack on sweet foods and should I eat a proper meal, its usually a binge out session coz I'd be so hungry for a proper meal.  I asked my GP for Duromine to help me control my sugar cravings and in turn lose weight.  I've been overweight for the last 10 years and I've gotten sick and tired.  Even though I'm now physically stronger because of all the exercise, and I'm more agile, I'm still overweight.  I find that its affected my confidence and even trust in myself. I'm hoping with Duromine, I can control these damaging cravings, and reach my goal weight.

good luck to everyone on this journey. We'll all get there..

If you are taking duromine and are not losing weight, please ask your doctor to check your Thyroid and Insulin resistance.  If you have a problem with either of these, Duromine will not work for you.  In addition, if these tests return normal, reduce your calorie intake.  the fact that you dont have an appetite should make it real easy for you.

good luck everyone. :-)

The 15mg is to weak, i feel it still made me feel hungry. So i went onto the 30mg. It works faster and more effective.

I've tried duromine in the past and it does work, only that it had caused me side effects. I have switched to an appetite suppressant instead because my main problem is my overeating so I thought that's what all I need. Turned out prescopodene has been so far the best weight loss supplement I've tried cause I have lost 2 stones in just a month and a half's time.

i have lost 6 kg in two weeks but the problem is ireally forget to snck or drinking water and i suffer a lot of abdominal cramps and sometimes i cant even walk but i started using luxutive and i became fine ...but i want to know really how should i eat and what because i am really eating healthy but i have been told not eat carrots and pumpkin no potatoe no pork ,no rice , and no fried staff everything i eat has to be boiled and my snacks should only be provits and tuc and no fuzy drinks or alchol  i am only allowed to drink whisky and fuzzy drinks WITH ZERO...well i can c its really working but sometimes i want real food ...please help
