Good day people

Ntokozo I would really like to know how everything is going so far. Plz replay gal.

I have been on Duromine for 6 days now and i have lost 5kgs, don't really know if it's water weight or what but whatever it is I'm happy about it. Went from 105kgs to 100kgs now, my goal is to weigh 75kgs, not in a rush though. I am using 30g duromine and I do have side effects but they are not too bad, most common being the dry mouth thing so I drink a lot of water with lemon through out the day.

I would like to hear from people who have used it longer and maybe have a pen pal so we can share our experience and journey to looking fabulous!!!!

Hey muffin86,
wow 5 kg lost is awesome, congrats. People usually say when you start duromine during the first week you will lose water weight.
Its day 27, for me on the 30mg, and it's been a roller coaster month because of the annoying side effects.
All I can suggest is start keeping a journal or start blogging on here, because the side effects will make you upset and happy at times, and the mood swings I have had was erratic.

I keep a journal and write the side effects i'm experiencing and the activities I do to keep me on track.
I also find it therapeutic reading how I feel. For me, reading other peoples blogs has given me a greater understanding about the drug. Honestly there hasn't been a day I didn't experience a side effect lol, however it's not so bad. The first two & a half weeks for me was the worst.

Try your best to drink 3 liters of water everyday to stay hydrated, and eat 6 small meals to keep you feeling full and let your immune system start working. Most importantly eat FIBER in the morning to stop constipation from occurring.

I was 70 kg when I started it and now i'm 63kg, feeling great now.
Next week I will start taking duromine twice a week, so I can ease my body of it.

If you have any questions i'm happy to post about my experience,
Good luck, stay in touch:)

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!

I have used the 15mg and I found it took a few days to build up in my system. My Dr told me to go 3 days on, 1 or 2 off to help with not building resistance to it. I went from 97kg to 87 pretty quickly. The only side effects I had were dry mouth for an hour the first time I ever took it and I was wide awake as soon as my alarm went off. I never had trouble sleeping tho. I've maintained that weightloss after being off it for almost 18 months and I'm going to be going back on it soon :-)

Hi everyone...I've just started 15mg today...sitting at my desk now still feeling sleepy and hungry for lunch! 

Hope the weight loss will kick in soon....will try the 3 days on and 1-2 days off method as I'm a bit chicken to try the 30mg...

:-(

hi ntokozo, how was your duromine experience? I just started using it 2 days ago and I have bad side effects from not sleeping (maybe 2hours) to a dry mouth, to a bad taste in my mouth to headached and generally feeling wuuzy all day. does duromine really work?

I'm 70kg and on the 30mg Aswell I started it today will I drop as much weight as you? My goal is 60kg

Yes duromine works and those are the same problems i am facing , Fail to sleep and i have a lot of  Energy but the difference is you took small mgs, 15mgs are very small which means you don't lose all the appetite.  i am taking 30mgs 

A friend of a friend is on Duromine and she has lost a lot of weight. I am 159cm tall, weigh 109kgs and my GP refuses to prescripe it for me says i should start walking 30 minutes every day. I lost 6.2 kgs on my own from Jan 2014 but the weight is standing still now even though am eating healthy. I really wish to weigh 80kg again, you guys are very luck

I'm on duromine 30mg. Started almost 3 weeks ago. The day I started taking the pill, I weighed 121kg. 1 week later I've lost 3kg, second week I've lost another 2kg. Cant wait for Tuesday (that's my weighing day).
Good luck to every one.

I started on Duromine 30 6 weeks ago. My starting weight was 82kg. I gave up smoking 4 years ago and over that time progressively put on 20kg averaging 5kg a year. Yes it was great for my health, 5 kids and husband that I quit smoking but the weight gain made me very unhappy. My self esteem was low and I had tried and failed at every diet out that. Any 6 weeks in I've lost 8.5kgs. Prior to starting on the Duromine I was a very healthy eater except my portions were probably double and every night I would polish off half a block of milk chocolate. Since being on Duromine I've more then halved my portions, I eat every couple of hours, high protein low carb and the cravings for the chocolate are completely gone. In fact crabings for any food have gone. I now eat healthy to fuel my body. Oh and I only took Duromine 30 for 30 days and then took Duromine 15s. For the first 2/3 days on the 30mgs I didnt sleep at all, I had that metallic taste in my mouth
