I'm writing this blog to keep track of my progress when i begin taking Duromine tomorrow morning. After researching on the internet i have found a lot of people are confused about its side effects and dont know if it is worth taking. Hopefully this blog will be of some use to someone.
I am 28 yrs old, currently weigh a little under 200lbs (90kg i think) am 5ft 6. I have decided to start this medication becasuse i am feeling that nothing is working for me. Having recently been diagnosed with Polysistic Ovaries, i think this has added to the problems im having with my weight. I have gained over 15 pounds in the last 6 months and am having a VERY hard time shifting them!
I will begin taking the tablets tomorrow and update again to start to track my progress.
Wish me luck.......

Day 1....
Woke up at 6am, and took first tablet, then was so tired went back to sleep for 2 hours, i expected to wake up full of beans, but i was still really tired. Think that is down to the slow release of the medication.
I wasnt sure how hungry i would be in the day so took to work with me some fruit, tin of tuna, and small pack of crackers. I was hungry when i got to work and really enjoyed eating the fruit, but after that i didnt feel like making anything else to eat all day! I more or less forced myself to open the bag of crackers so that i was still eating to keep the metabolism up! I would normally eat the pack in 5 mins, but today one pack lasted over an hour!
When i got back from work, i went for a run/walk for 4k. then by the time i had got home, showered and tidied it was too late to eat anything for tea even if i was hungry so im just going to make the most of not wanting any food and go to bed.
I didnt feel too energetic today. i was expecting to be rushing around here and there but instead i was quite tired all day!
Im a bit nervous about tomorrow because we go out for lunch with work on Fridays so im worried how im going to tackle that. must find low calorie version and just have to eat it!
Overall today has been a good day, i was excited to see how the tablets made me feel and to be honest i didnt feel that much different, i just didnt have the desire to be eating all day as per usual! When i went for my run/walk i wasnt going faster than i have ever run, in fact i run regularly and today i was running worse than normal. I didnt experience any feelings like my heart was going to jump out my chest but i was worried about feeling this so maybe that is why subconsiously i wasnt trying to push myself too hard!

Day 2....
Woke up at 4.30am which i wasnt too impressed with! I wasnt tired though when i woke up, i was immediately awake. After finally admitting i wasnt going to get back to sleep i went for another run/walk for about 45 mins, got back and couldnt resist jumping on the scales to find i had lost just over 2.5kg!!!!! Sure thats mostly water weight though so nothing to get too excited about!
I decided not to take a pill today because my pharmasist told me i didnt need to take the pills every day so i thought i would just see how i would go taking them every other day (they would last longer this way too) i still didnt feel the need to eat much during the day, i went out for lunch and managed to quite happily leave some on the plate something i would never normally do, no matter how full i was i would find a way to fit it all in! Rest of the day was ok, i did eat more than i did yesterday but i was trying to just eat little and often. By the evening though i did find myself thinking what was in the cupboards to snack on.... something i wasnt doing yesterday.
I didnt drink as much water today and wasnt feeling as thirsty as i was yesterday.
I will be taking my next pill early tomorrow morning and hope tomorrow will be a day where no thoughts of food enter my head!

Hi, I admire your actions. Best of luck. I am also very much over weight, have been for as long as I can remember. Will you please advise me on how to get Duromine tabs please. I have really terribily in need to loose LOTS AND LOTS of weight. Many thanks - and really best of luck with your journey. I'm sure you will be successful :D

Well, Its been a while!
My lap top went and broke on me, so i have been unable to log my journey each day as i hoped!
OK so to briefly bring you up to date!..
At the end of week one, i hopped onto the scales to find i had lost 11lb! I was over the moon! I had been running quite a few times in the first week as i was full of enthusiasm of making these tablets work! I found this quite difficult though because of the terrible thirst! I was having to take water bottle running with me which just gets on my nerves. In the end i resorted to putting some mints or sweets in my socks so i would have one of those to cure the thirst till i got back to the flat. Worked a treat!
Second week was good, i felt like i was getting into the swing of things and getting a good routine going, i didnt do any exercise though, little excuses kept coming up and i didnt go! I think i thought because i had done so well the first week i could afford not to go. So end of week 2 got on the scales and found i had only lost 2lb! :-(
Week 3 i had a few days where i didnt take the tablets, i was having it for maybe 4/5 days in a row then i would have at least one day off. I found that even on the day off, my appetite was still reduced. i didnt get weighed this week.
Week 4 i just plodded along taking them, was still snacking on unhealthy things like sweets, but i wasnt having huge meals like i would normally be having. I sort of felt smaller around my waist and my clothes didnt feel tight, but i didnt really think i had lost much more. end of week 4 i got on the scales expecting to be much the same as i was week at the end of week 2 (187lb) and when i got on the scales i was pleasantly suprised to see (178!) another 9lbs and i wasnt even really trying!
So i ended my first pack, and thought i would have a week off them just to see how i go, and it wasnt good!
I was so so so tired! Ive never felt anything quite like it! I literally could not lift my head off the pillow! I had to call in sick for work, and i slept solid for 15hours, the next night i had about 13 hrs sleep, and i felt very tired and lazy in the days. It was slighlty worrying that i couldnt wait to start my next pack just to feel "normal" again!
That was only bad side effect i have had. The thirst is not as bad now as it was the first week or so. I just have to remember to drink lots of water.
So now im on the 2nd pack, im making the effort to be exercising as much as i can. I went yesterday for a run, but because i hadnt been for a few weeks im now in pain, and thats giving me another excuse not to go!! I'll fight through it!
To Guest: Thank you for your comments, I went to a doctor who prescribed them to me. I already had decided in my head i was finding it so hard to loose any weight and i wasnt leaving the doctors till i was prescribed something! I had never even heard of Duromine before then, and i had never taken any diet pills before. My doctor asked me which i wanted the 30g or the 40g, he said they would be the same price, so i thought if im paying the same money i may aswell get the stronger ones!
The doctors i went to was not my regular doctor, i just walked into one, it looked a bit dodgy, the doctor was answering calls to his brother in isreal while he was seeing me, so i'm thinking had i gone to my regular proffesional, nice, modern, clean looking doctors surgery i might not have been prescribed the same pills. Who knows!
I'd just go to a doctors and explain that you are exercising and eating low calorie diet, but pounds just wont go. I think because i have Polysistic ovaries he took that into account aswell.
Good luck and let me know how you get on! xx
