Hoping for some much needed advice...I started duromine as i wanted a kick start my weight loss...I started duromine in mid July on 30mg...had no side effects at all..i lost 3.5kgs in around 2weeks..and was eating healthy and excercising...after that I lost no weight...so i went on for another mth of 30mg..again no side effects at all, sleeping fine, still eating like normal and did not loose any weight at all so im quite negative towards this actually working, or maybe it just doesnt work for me?
Im now im on my 4th day of duromine 40mg...so far no side effects at all..bit of a dry mouth i have been drinking more water than normal...sleeping....only side effect i have found (which is a good one) is that i feel in a good mood all the time but then I have been snapping at my bf abit more than usual!...i didnt eat much yesterday (cup of soup and a sandwich) but i think the only reason i didnt eat much is because i kept telling myself i shouldnt be hungry..but i know i could of eaten heaps more... I have been excercising 30minutes every night..i weighed myself this morning and nothing....I just dont understand why its not working for me :-(

from 64kg i was back then, i went down to 53kg, i stayed around that weight for about a year or so, and it was great! as i have never been so thin and i'm only 1.63cm (5"3).. after i stopped taking it it wasn't very good, i gained 15kg, i then started taking it again and lost 10kg in a month, (it was before my wedding), after that, i tried getting more, but i was banned for two years, of getting any subscription from any doctor, my addiction was huge...
i felt i couldnt live without it, and that is when i started piling on the kilos, in 2 years from 64 kg i was before taking duromine, i went up to 100kg, i developed pre diabetes, policystic ovaries, a fatty liver and imbalance in my hormones ...it all went down hill from there...being married i couldnt conceive because of the policystic ovaries i had to lose weight, to control my hormones and get rid of my pre diabetes which runs in my family....it was horrible, my husband back then had to cope with my weird behavior, and angry uncontrollable episodes, i even got violent towards him...
it has taken me 3 years to go back to my normal weight...i now weight 77kg, i had a gastric by pass surgery in october 2007, with 88kg...and been divorced for nearly two years.
with the gastric by pass surgery i lost 5kg leaving me with 83kg, i am now getting married again and started taking duromine 40g...i am currently 76.4 kg and have been taking it for 2 months, i have only one month left to go, as i have been monitored by my GP....
It is sad, that i have tried gyms, dieting, surgery, and the duromine pills...and still have this weight problem,...
I guess i will struggle for ever...something to think about'...
;-)
Loosing weight is not a big task, really I have also reduced my weight with the help of Mark Patrick's program. The programs are just incredible and a new way to get better health. I hope that you would love to know about this.For more information you can look at my signature.
i had a glass of wine last night and managed to clean the house in record time and had to keep serching for more things i could clean.
i started eating a little more yesterday 1 piece toast breakie rice lunch and bowl soup for dinner. Still that is quiet a bit but portion sizes so much smaller.
MY EXPERIENCE WITH DUROMINE
I STARTED TAKING DUROMINE ON THE 1ST NOVEMBER 2008
2 YEARS AGO I WAS THE PERFECT SIZE I WEIGHED 65 KILOS, WAS HEALTHY, PLAYED SPORT, ATE AS MUCH AS I WANTED & NEVER GAINED WEIGHT BUT THEN I MET MY OTHER HALF AND THE WEIGHT PRETTY MUCH SNUCK UP ON ME, I WAS EATING SO MUCH DID NO EXERCISE AND REALLY DIDNT CARE WHAT I LOOKED LIKE BUT THEN THIS YEAR IT REALLY GOT ME DOWN ALOT WHEN I WEIGHED MYSELF AN COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH I GAINED AS I ALWAYS THOUGHT I'D BE ABLE TO BURN IT OFF EASILY LIKE I USE TO...BUT THATS NOT THE CASE WHEN U LET YOURSELF GO FOR 2 YEARS...SO THATS WHEN I DISCOVERED DUROMINE.
ON THE 1ST OF NOVEMBER THIS YEAR (2008) I WEIGHED MYSELF AND I WAS SITTING AT 97KILOS. I TOOK MY FIRST DUROMINE PILL THAT DAY (30MG) AND AN HOUR INTO IT I HAD NO CRAVINGSFOR FOOD. IN THE EVENING I COULDNT SLEEP :cry: AND I AM SOMEONE WHO LOVES TO SLEEP SO I STAYED UP PLAYING TETRIS ON MY PHONE UNTIL I COULD FALL ASLEEP. I FELL ASLEEP AT 2AM THAT NIGHT BUT HAD WOKEN UP AT 6AM THE NEXT MORNING & COULD NOT GO BACK TO SLEEP.
I MADE MYSELF TAKE THE PILL 9AM EVERY MORNING. AFTER THE FIRST WEEK I HAD LOST 5KGS BRINGING ME DOWN TO 92KGS. I WENT TO THE GYM EVERYNIGHT SO THAT I WOULD FEEL TIRED BY BEDTIME AND I COULD NOT SEEM TO STOMACH ANY FOOD BUT I MADE SURE I ATE SOMETHING AT LUNCHTIME BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO STARVE MYSELF AND HAVE THE WEIGHT CREEP BACK UP ON ME WHEN I WAS DONE WITH TAKING DUROMINE AND I DRANK ALOT AND I MEAN ALOT OF WATER.
MY SLEEPING PATTERNS WET BACK TO NORMAL SO AT NIGHT TIME I FELL ASLEEP WHEN MY HEAD HIT THE PILLOW. 8)
WHEN I WENT TO THE TOILET I WAS ALWAYS CONSTIPATED, SO TO CURE MY CONSTIPATION I WOULD WAKE UP EARLY IN THE MORNING ABOUT 5AM AND DRINK A BIG M OR UP AND GO (MILKY) BECAUSE I KNEW THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD GIVE ME THE RUNS (MEANING LIKE DIAARHEA.) AS MY STOMACH IS NOT MILKS BEST FRIEND IN THE MORNING.
ON MY SECOND WEEK OF TAKING DUROMINE I STOPPED GOING TO THE GYM BUT DID EXERCISE BY PLAYING THE WII FIT. I WAS VERY MOODY :x AND SUICIDAL. AT NIGHT I WOULD LIE IN MY BED AND IMAGINE HANGING MYSELF ON THE TREE AT THE BACK OF MY HOUSE. I WOULD CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP. I HAD A REALLY BAD ATTITUDE WAS VERY NASTY AND ALL THE LITTLE THINGS WOULD GET TO ME. AT THIS POINT I WAS EVEN ABOUT TO LOSE MY PARTNER. :cry:
I NOTICED THAT MY MOOD WOULD GO FROM HAPPY :D IN THE MORNING TO ANGRY :x IN THE AFTERNOON TO SUICIDAL IN THE EVENING.
I ALWAYS HAD A DRY MOUTH AND I HAD REALLY AND I MEAN REALLY BAD BAD BREATH AND I BOUGHT SO MUCH GUM AND MINTYS IT WAS AS IF THAT WAS MY BREAKFAST LUNCH AND TEA. :?
AT THE END OF WEEK 2 I WEIGHED MYSELF AND I HAD DROPPED TO 87KGS.
ON MY 3RD WEEK I STARTED TO GET CHEST PAINS SO I DECIDED TO STOP TAKING THEM. I STILL KEPT EATING ONCE A DAY EXCERISING AS MUCH AS I COULD AND DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER BUT I WAS STILL CONSTIPATED.
AFTER THE FORTH WEEK (NOTE: WHEN I WASNT TAKING DUROMINE ANYMORE) I WEIGHED MYSELF AGAIN AND I WAS DOWN TO 85KGS.
SO THAT WAS MY 4 WEEK KICK START PLAN WITH DUROMINE. ALTHOUGH IT WAS ABIT SLOWER BY THE FORTH WEEK I WAS STILL HAPPY AS THE WEIGHT HADNT GONE BACK UP.
I HAVE STOPPED TAKING DUROMINE SINCE I GOT THE CHEST PAINS BUT I AM STILL WORKING ON MY BODY AND LOSING THE WEIGHT. I HAVE KEPT THE WEIGHT OFF BY EXCERCISING AND EATING ALL THE RIGHT FOODS. I SLEEP LIKE A BABY AND I WEIGH 83KGS NOW...THE ONLY BAD THING IS IM STILL CONSTIPATED. :x
MY ADVICE FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO USE DUROMINE ONLY USE IT AS A KICK START TO LOSE WEIGHT DO NOT USE IT FOR LONG TERM USE AS IT ISNT WORTH IT & IF U WANT TO MAKE A TIME TO DRINK THE PILL ITS BEST TO DRINK IT EARLY IN THE MORNING LIKE 6AM.
I HOPE THIS DOES HELP ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING TO TAKE DUROMINE AND I APOLOGISE FOR THE ESSAY.
i'm on my 4th day of duromine and i think i've had every side effect possible, but i will continue to take the pill as the doctor told me the first few days are always the hardest. i'm on 30mg
Mon: Day 1 was great! i took the pill at 6am, had breakfast & went to the gym, i had so much energy throughout the day. I lost my appetite completely but forced myself to eat. My heart started beating irregularly on & off but nothing too extreme. I went to bed at the usual time (11pm) but woke up 4hrs later feeling refreshed. I managed to get myself to sleep until 6am as there is nothing to do at 3am!!
Tues Day 2 i woke feeling energized, i went to the gym & found i didn't have much energy but i was sweating like crazy. My body feels like a constant heater even on Day 4. I had a headache that lasted all day, i was feeling depressed & wanted to be left alone. I forced myself to eat & once again i woke after 3hrs ready to start the day.
Wed Day 3 awake early & refreshed, went to gym, was soaked head to toe in sweat just by doing a 30min workout. energy starts to die off my 10am after taking pill at 6am. No headaches but i did still feel moody. My mouth was really dry & sore. I feel sick whenever i eat but still force it down & i have bloating & constipation.
Thurs Day 4 (today) the worst day, i did not go to the gym as i don't want to overdo it. could barely stomach food & i'm a person who loves to eat. i felt depressed just because i couldn't find clothes to wear. i put on a face all day to cover the fact that i felt really low (emotionally). I feel like crying every now & then. My stomach has doubled in size due to bloating. I had really bad head pains & still do at this moment.
This week had to be one of the worst weeks i've had in a really long time, i've never felt down & not myself like this before.
If these side effects do not go away by Day 7 i think i'll have to stop. I've lost only 2kg in 4 days but feeling like this is not worth it. i really want duromine to work for me as it has worked for my friends.
will keep you all posted, hopefully tomorrow is a better day.
I don't feel very well today though. I want to know does anyone know approx how long it will take to loose about 15 kg's on duromine - combined with right foods (when you force yourself to eat?!)
I've taken my 4th tablet (30mg) today.
My first tablet was taken at 1pm. By 4pm I was feeling quite happy and slightly more energetic. I'd eaten breakfast at 10am and by 4pm I was STARVING! My tummy was rumbling and I was feeling weak. I ate a chicken roll and could have eaten more - which I didn't. By dinner time food was completely off my mind, making it hard to decide what to cook for my partner.
I went out that night and drank alot of alcohol. Got quite drunk and was hung over the next day. Slept like a baby.
Day 2: more energy than normal. Actually was able to clean my house which has seemed too big a job until then. Ate a hang over breakfast of an egg and toast. no lunch. starving again by dinner - ate 1 lamb chop, 1 chicken sausage, and a heap of lettus. Drank again.
NO WEIGHT LOSS
Day 3: Realise alcohol probably isn't really doing me well. again eggs for breakfast. No lunch. 2 slices of vegie pizza for dinner. 1 small glass of wine that I was talked into drinking by a friend.
Day 4: Today. LOST 1kg. so far 1 piece of toast.
Didn't sleep well last night which was the first time I've noticed any sleep problems. Think this is due to drinking. Perhaps now its actually working? I think I have a high tollerance to speed/other drugs and so many these tablets too?
Will let you know how things go in a few days to see if that makes a difference. I've only got 1 months perscription and I really would like to loose 20kg. Think its going to take much longer than that.
I stopped drinking coke any fizzys whats so ever choc's & sweets was a NO NO. I started walking for 20min then I was able to start running after a month and a half. Sleeping patterns changed would only get about 5hrs max
