Hi there,
I have been taking Duromine 40mg for 4 days now and so far i feel great. I am 22 5'6 and weigh 70kg. i had a baby almost 12 months ago and am struggling to loose the weight ( was previously 55kg).
The 1st day i felt a little strange and couldnt sleep that night. dry mouth, goosebumps, sweats, no appetite no hunger pains, and have been sleeping fine except the 1st night, today which is my 4th day i have had a racing heart and a few pulpitations but nothing that is concerning me. have been eating barley anything ( obviously thats the point) food just doesnt even take my fancy and find that the food ieat doesnt taste as good as it used to. so i can go all day without food but am trying to force myself to at least have 2 small meals a day and lots and lots of water. So far i havent noticed any change which i am a bit upset %-) about after reading so many posts of people losing so much so fast. Since starting it i have been unable to excercise due to a sick bubba but went for a brisk walk this morning and will start back at the gym once bubs is better. I am truly hoping this will work as it seems to be a never ending battle to kick start weight loss. Once i have lost what i need i know that i need to continue a healthy eating plan and excercise regulary. So fingers crossed i start seeing results soon =) any suggestions as to how i could see results faster??

I'm 1.68m and the first time I took duromine I combined it with regular workouts to get down from 85 to 55kg. Two years later I am now 90kg (that was a week ago so it could be over that by now). I'm so annoyed with myself for letting all my hard work go to waste. Seeing my photo at a recent work dinner (horrible) has made me realise something has to be done now. So I went and got 30mg prescription to help me kickstart my weight loss schedule. Not looking forward to the duromine daze but I know it works so here I go again. P.S when I said regular workouts I meant 1 hr a day at 6km/h on the treadmill building up to 2hr a day everyday without fail. And taking the stairs instead of the lift. I want to be back to my best for my 27th (10months to go) and I just as importantly want to maintain it.

As a result of medication side effects I gained 68kg over three years.

Finally finding meds that don't make me gain, I've started duromine for the second time in my life. It started quite slowly which was disappointing, but I stuck with it. My job requires me to be moving all day so further exercise really isn't necessary.

On the last day of my second pack I hit 20kg lost. I have to force myself to eat sometimes and that's great because I'm building good habits. I recommend duromine to anyone in a danger weight range.

Hi I've been using Duromine 30mg for the last 5 months and has lost 12kg. I am 157cm tall now weigh 63kg and only has 6 more to go to get to a healthy BMI of under 25.This weight lost is not very wow compared to some members weight lost but I'm happy about it.Tried so many things that didn't work that I'm so chuffed at the 12kg!!!
I only had the dry mouth side effect for about a week and nothing since.I still drink about 2l of water a day but thats a consience discission.I eat healthly because I have no cravings and my emosional eating is under control.
Good luck to everyone that reading this that want to try Duramine XD

I've been taking 40mg duromine for 4 weeks now and I'm very undecided whether or not to continue. For week 1 I had the typical side effects of not bring hungry at all, feeling hot and thirsty and minimal sleep. Since starting I've been going to the gym doing a minimum of 45 minutes cardio 4-5 times a week and very conscious of my diet and portion controlling. It's helped a lot with sugar cravings.
I'm 170cm tall, 29 year old female and started at 101kg. In 4 weeks I have lost only 5 kg which is very disheartening. I feel like I'm doing all of the right things, maintaining a healthy diet of 4 small meals per day, I'm caffeine free, don't take any other meds and drink only water.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Should I stick with it ?

hey, im 171 cm and when started on duromine was 70 kg. i had gained alot of weight for no apparent reason (although now they think it is to do with implanon) i was prescribed duromine 30mg. i took it straight away and within the first week had lost 4.5kg and was loving it!! had so much energy powered through the days although moody and would cry at the drop of a hat. i took a break over the weekend from duromine nad 'came down hard' i havent taken drugs before so im not sure wat coming off is like but someone told me thats what happens.. i slept, i was moody, i ate heaps yet then feel sick.. it was horrible!!! i resumed duromine on monday and it is like i dont even take it. i get hungry. i am tired, and..... i gained 1.5kg in a week!!! not happy at all!!! i am heading to the dr tonight to find out what has caused this. during my first week i wasnt hungry nor did i feel hungry. now. i am always thirsty and if i dont eat i get that empty yukki feeling in my tummy. has anyone had this same issues? good luck to everyone on duromine and dont push urself with too much exercise as high blood pressure is a hiuge side effect!!!!

Hi, i've been on 40mg Duromine for 6 days now. I'm 81kg, 180cm, 19yr old female.
My appetite is slowling coming back, im still heaps thirsty though, my sleeping pattern has gone back to normal now.I take the pill about 6am in the morning. I still feel like i'm "coming down" in the afternoon and get aggrevated really easily but it soon fades.
I havent really changed my eating habits i still have a small bowl of ceral in the morning then eat around 1pm a sandwhich or dimsim or some sort of small hot food from the university cafe and usually don't eat dinner or if i do its tiny. Since i'm on the highest dosage how come i haven't seen any results yet ?
I talk to other people that notice change straight away. I don't do much excerise but im still walking around a far bit.
Can my body become ammune to Duromine this easily ? I only taken a form of illcit drugs twice in my whole life so i don't know what it could be.

I'm one of those people who always google everything when i want to know something, so reading all the feedback was brilliant. I'm 18 and on antidepressants, i was a little worried about takinig duromine, because i heard they have clashed. I'm taking the antidepressant "Setraline". I started today, but as of yet i feel no different, i have still been hungry and spent most of the day sleeping (big night last night) I'm a bit doubtful, because everyone has been saying how their first day was amazing and filled with energy. I'm really short (around 5 foot) and i weight 90kg, I'm wondering if anyone else has felt something similar... Today is my first day and im only on 15mg so maybe i should give it a bit longer? i suppose ill update on the situation.

this duromine is great ! I have been on it now for almost 2 weeks. the first week i was on the illegal variety (bought on internet without script) I did that as my dr had refused to prescribe it telling me wasnt overwieght enough :(. So I bought it on internet but then after a few days got worried about what I was really taking. Went back to my doctor and gave it straight. told her I had bought on line and was taking it prescribed or not. told her I would much rather get it on prescription, know it was the real deal and be under medical supervision. Needless to say she was very peeved with me but she did then prescribe. I am on 40mg duromine, week two ie one week "illegal" one week legal lol. I was 74.6kg and now 71.2. so a loss of 3.5 kg in two weeks (acutally 11 days). might not seem that overweight but I am only 160cm , I dont wnat to be skiiny but within my BMI, so about 64. with duromine am getting there VERY fast. I have some side effects but they are tolerable. dry mouth, extreme sweats and some palpitations at times. Feeling a little hyper vigilant, Not very hungry but make sure I do eat, just not that much. I cant say I have had extrmeme energy like some report but I have noticed everything I do is at top speed lol - even talking! my friends say I seem a little excitable. when I walk I am like a steam train, every movenment is much faster , so am getting lots of unitentional exercise. One warning here, I am not deliberately moving at tops speed, it is just happening and I have to keep consciously slowing myself down. Like me, if taking duromine you were probably a bit overwieght and so likely not very fit either. The extra (extreme) physical activity has made me very racy in heart ie very rapid pulse, very strong palpitations and a fluttery feeling in my chest at times. so just be careful you are not physically over doing things!
