Does Duromine really work to lose weight fast?

anyone know if the sore tongue/ dry mouth gets better over time?  Or should I just tough it out.  So annoying... almost painful atm. 5 days in

I'm on my third day of Duromine/Metermine 30mg and can't believe how I don't feel hungry.  Am still eating, but trying to be careful and only eating when I'm hungry rather than when I think I should.  

I have deliberately not bought scales so I will go by what the doctor weighs me - I'd rather feel it in clothes and my general health and be addicted to the numbers.  ;)

I've found out so much just reading through this thread - thanks everyone for sharing.   I have to go to a function and I know it says no alcohol - does anyone know what would happen if I had a glass or 2?   I suppose I don't want to put any progress back, but I was curious more than anything.

I'm lucky with the side effects - few mild headaches, bit of the jitters, but otherwise pretty good.  Still sleeping ok at night but not feeling like I need a kindy nap of an afternoon or can't get out of bed in the morning.  

I look forward to following others comments   :D

hey i have heard that some times people the have a.d.d. may have reverse affect of the drug speed so u will get tired feel hungry be lethargic instead of what most people experience hope this helps

Hi I have been using Duromine for a month and a half along with a healthy diet and exercise daily! I have lost 15kg and I am feeling great and can now run I have 14 days to go then I am going to continue everything I am doing! It was the kick start I needed as my starting weight was 128kg. I haven't had any side effects but I do see my doctor weekly and get my heart rate blood pressure etc... Checked and I also made sure I with my doctors help saw a nutritionist and dietician who I see fortnightly to help out. This is the first time I have really been motivated and in the right head space to get active and create a better lifestyle for myself and my family. I am on the 30mg and it has worked for me but It did take me a week to decide if I would take this just because of the POSSIBLE side effects!

i am going on duromine tomorrow and weigh 70 kgs need to lose it so bad

I started the 30mg on Monday at 88.1kg today is Thursday and im 85.8. I still eat 3 meals but much smaller which is great because I used to eat everything on my plate and now I just dont have the interest to. Feel really good, minor headaches a few body tingles and sleeping is ok but ive never been a great sleeper anyway. I do have more energy which is making me happier. So far so good for me.

hi all, alot of stories sound so similer to mine, started on 30g felt so much energy first day hardley ate, hardley slept but i also didnt think i would sleep so that prob payed a part, as days went by the side effects went away my hunger came back and i could sleep fine, i started only taking it every second day as i thought ild try and make it last long as its expensive , towards the end didnt even feel like i was on it, apart from the mood swings, i have just started today on 40mg am exhausted have had alot of energy today, had to make my self eat small meals but i started at 80kgs 6ft tall got down too 76.5 , was off of it for a week ate healthy but still need to extra help to loose some more

i started duromine 2 months ago (really overwieght male 6ft1 156kg) i have had no side effects at all from the 40mg tabs, i have tried a multitude of diets and i couldnt stick with them. I have dropped to 126 kg in the past 2 months and it makes a big difference, i highly doubted that they would do anything for me at all but i havent been below 140kgs for over 4 years. Im still eating regularly 3 main meals and 2 small snacks spread evenly throughout the day. The extra energy is great as previously after a 5 min walk i would be tired with chronic back pain (i was previously 95kg's before an accident and i messed my back up to the point of not being able to work). I know the amount of wieght loss i have had can be seen as unhealthy, but i really needed it. will be on duromine for another 4 months or untill the doc gives me the all clear on my weight. Duromines not for everyone but its definately been doing a world of good for me, and my back is starting to feel alot better

Hello guys! just started taking duromine 30mg on Tuesday and I feel really great no side effect or anything. When I started them I was 87 and haven't weighted myself yet. I'm not attending any gym but I watch what I put in my mouth. would like to loose weight very fast any suggestion on what to do beside going to the gym?

Good day.. Yes it really does work. I've tried every single diet you can think of and always gave up cos losing weight has always been a struggle for me. I started duromine 30mg on the 3 July 2014, weighing in at 95kg. By end September 2014, I was weighing 76kg (19kg loss). Since end September my weight has been the same. I have not picked up any weight since then. Im starting Duromine 30mg tomorrow as I would like to lose 11kg. Goal weight 65kg, Duromine has changed my life. To be honest, when I started duromine, I was not able to sleep at night but that lasted for a couple of days only. You wont regret trying duromine. Duromine works differently on people. You wont know if you dont try. Good luck

For the person that asked where to get Duromine in Australia, I ordered mine.

They shipped quickly and no prescription neeeded.

For over 3 years I have been trying to stop gaining weight after an accident. Eventually I had tried every diet on the net. The thing I learned was don't use laxatives. I found a chinese Dr, we were able to find foods I could enjoy that helped everything. I was still gaining when I was put on Vitamin D, got my energy back, then calcium a few weeks later & found I had better food management (I was less hungry) then I started eating celery & cucumber. It was swapped out for sandwiches at lunch time. It took a couple of days for the bowl to work but it works just fine now. I have since added carrot, sour cream, tomatoes, grapes & cooked apples. Once that was stabilised my main meal became the normal whatever meat with no cooked veg just all salad. A week on that & I noticed I stopped gaining. It has been weeks & I can have a baked potato when I go out with all the trims, Pies & chips for dinner, ice cream once a week & still after several weeks I have not put on any more weight. Thank goodness. From 55 kg to 94 kg at the worst I am now down to where I can see the scales saying 91. It is slow but it works. Oh I don't have time to go out & exercise as I am house bound. Now with the Duromine I have been given today I was told to expect I should loose between 1.7 kg per week & 3 kg once my body adjusts. It is just a jump start as I can only be on it for 3 months max or it causes heart scaring. If I can lose 20kg in 12 weeks I will be wrapped. I just had to learn what my body could cope with & it was certainly NOT bread.

Hi, I just started taking Duromine 30g for two days now and have not weight myself. The only side effects so far is dry mouth and too much energy. Also I was told by my two cousin it is only effective if you take it very early in the morning. So l now take it every day at 6am. I found it gives me so much energy as soon as l take it and continues until evening and no cravings for food. It is also making increasing my concentration so far. Lastly l noticed it boosted energy levels if you try to sleep early and wake up at 6am to take it at same time everyday. :)
