Duromine weight loss

Hey Guys, I started using Duromine 15mg in 2003 but they didn't work in terms of weight loss, I was just very scared and nervous, when I hear the sound of a car I'd cross the road fast thinking it's close even though I have not seen it yet. I then tried the 30mg in May 2004 which worked wonders for me, I lost 15kgs in 3 weeks and I was very very weak. My knees were no longer flexible, I couldn't climb the stairs. I was 80 and had a weight of 65kgs, my height is 1.56m. So, I think that had to do with the fact that I was never eating, I would vomit when I eat 2 slice of bread, I'd manage to eat half an apple a day, I'm sure that's why I was weak. After the 3 weeks I still had no appetite until on the 6th week. I am now 68kgs and I eat like a pig, I don't exercise, I hardly eat the fruits. So, this means that I have only gained 3kgs in 3 years and it's because of how I eat. I gotten naughty because my 16yr old sister wanted to try them, I gave her the ones of another week and in 1 week she had lost 4kgs but gotten sick and had to be rushed to the hospital, but she wasn't dying. She had stomach cramps, and she also had a pain that was in between the breasts, she was saying it was sounding like she has swallowed a tennis ball and it's hot, like she has a heart burn. But at the hospital they gave her something for the stomach and she was fine, we didn't tell them what really happened, she was very weak as well, sorry guys but she wanted them and she was at 16 weighing 87kgs. So guys I have something called the hyperthroid, I noticed it after the duromine, the weekness in my body did not really end and when I went to the doctor, he said that it is that my thyroid gland is swollen. The reason why you get this is when you lack iodine or if someone in your family once had it. So, I'm sure in the 6 weeks that I was really not eating my body needed iodine and I was not eating let alone having sea foods, so I think this is how I got it. I'm feeling good now, but they have to operate me on the neck or give me medicine for the rest of my life. I'm choosing the operation, so I cannot really link the 2, I can't say Duromine caused goitre, but my loss of appetite caused it especially that I was not eating sea foods. I emphasize that you still need to eat your balanced diet and force yourself to eat. You also need to drink them in the morning, I don't know whether duromines know what time of the day it is, but if I drink tham at 5 in the morning, my day will be fine. If I drink them later at about 10 in the morning, I will feel sick no matter what time I will have my breakfast. Or is it that I drank them before meals or you should have them after meals, I don't recall.

Hi!

Would like to ask if I could exercise while i was on Duromine 30 medication?

My friend was on Duromine 30mg for 3 mths last March. She lost about 35kg. But man, she had a very nasty temper while on those pills. She developed hypertension too, had frequent headaches the whole time. But for the sake of being skinny, she put up with it.

Within a year, she gained about 20+kg since she didn't really change her previous eating habit. I'm not really sure if she's going to put back all the weight. She doesn't want to go back on Duromine because she's still afraid of the side effects. Furthermore, her doctor warned her that there's a chance that the drug will cause permanent/fatal damage to her vital organs.

I do think that you'll have to adjust your eating habits and exercise to keep the weight off. I really don't think it's worth losing your life just to be 'skinny'.

Just my 2c.

I guess I must be one of the lucky ones. I used Duromine for almost a year. I have lost 30kg and had no side effects whatsoever, no headaches, insomnia, palpatations etc. Mind you I took the milder dose of 15 ml not 30 as is sometimes advertised. Everyone is different and bodies react differently. The biggest mistake most people make with Duromine is they do not change their eating & exercise habits and when they come off it weight will come back because of this. Like anything be prepared to work and make sure you get regular checkups with your doctor. The best method for weight loss is still regular exercise, portion sizing and healthy eating.

Took a 15mg Duromine this morning.Have been feeling bad all day.Found it hard to breath by late morning. %-) Having had Pulmonary Embolism before was worried I was getting more clots in the lungs.Have been depressed and crying to my boyfriend most of the night. :'( It is now 3.34A.M. and sleep won't come although I am dead tired.My advise is do not take them it's not worth it.I have disposed the rest of the pills.

I remember feeling like that and as I had never taken any kind of drugs before it came as quite a shock. I even tried to play golf with my hubby-bad bad move. Believe me though it does get better.It took about a week to stop having the nasty side effects. I recommend taking it really early in the morning. I lost 12 kgs on the 15 then had a baby and have still kept 7 kgs off. Feeling very tempted to have them again. If only I could get over the emberrasment of having to ask my doctor.

I do find Duromine effective and frustrating. I will take the caps. late morning. Yes it suppressors my appetite and gives me more energy for the day, but come late afternoon when the kids are home from school I am very agitated and need an alcoholic drink or 6 to come down off that high. This therefore defeats the purpose of taking the pills! I broke my leg over 3 years ago which should have been a straight 6 week fix, but due to a whole lot of superbug and contagious infections in hospital which I contracted-god knows how? I ended up having over 20 operations including bone grafts, skin grafts, muscle grafts. So over the past 3 years of being on crutches I have not over eaten but just not being able to get around normally I have gone from 62kg to 81kg, this is very depressing and frustrating for me. I am 42 years old and have never had an overweight problem, even after 2 babies I bounced straight back to 62 kg.
I joined Jenny Craig, and for 3 months stuck to it. But alas nothing, they said I would lose 15kg in 8 weeks? the food is costly but alas nothing.

My leg is now shorter than the other but I have built up my sports shoe. I just want to lose the 17kg I have never carried before!

Hi,

Yeh for the first 2 nights i was up all night, Always alert and just could not relax at all... Then took about a week then i started sleepin a bit but kept waking up. Now i can sleep properly but i can get out of bed quicker.... and dont feel so lathargic. But this is prob my 3rd week taking it and i dont feel anything different as to if i was or wasnt taking it. in 3 weeks ive only lost 1 kg. Im on the 30mg which i think the doc will put me on 40mg. My body is a bit nawty! But i hope it works.

Hi, I just started on this stuff (3 days) and the doc told me I could possibly lose abt 4kg in a month. Whats with the huge amounts of weight lost in the posts here? Are they real? Not too sure I want to lose 15kg in 1 month .....who am I kidding?.....so whats the truth? Nobody seems to be saying they only lost a bit.

Hi,

Me again :-) Umm I went to the docs and i lost 3 kilos in 2.5 weeks but my blood pressure went from 130 to 155. So i been told i have to stop it immediately. After a few weeks my doc might try me on reductil. After the first week i think duromine just stopped working for me. I didnt feel much and my appetite was still there. Maybe the dose wasnt strong enough. I was on 30mg. Anyways be careful ladies and gents!And go see your docs :-)

Hi all, I just wanted to say thanx to everyone this forum is so Helpfull! I just got the 30mg from my Doc, I'm gonna start them tomorrow morning, EARLY as I can it seems after a light breakfast. I'm trying to loose about 25-30KG I know that's alot but My body is always responding good to weightloss, its just my apetite thats the problem. Being a 21 year old male, I have done the naughty thing and had speed before when Ive been out clubbing and the side effects didn't bother me at all, besides a dry moyth and no sleep, so I'm gonna give these a shot and let you all know how I go. Does anyone of here have any before after pix they would share from duromine? Thanx!

I have been taking Duromine 30mg for 13 days. During the first day it was rather awkward. I felt as if I was hallucinating all the time. I felt dry, yeah, really dry. So, made myself drank lots of water, say about 5 litres a day. Anyway, 2 weeks past, but I still havent not lost as much as they (from the previous forums) claimed, 15 kg or so. It wasn't obvious. So I am not sure if there's this problem with my body or what. I felt more relaxed in my clothes. But somehow, I gotta lose an extra 20 kg. How fast does Duromine 30 mg really go anyway? Can someone let me know?
I am 27 (181 cm - 96 kg)
