Hi All, 

I am really in need of some good advise here.

I am 153cm tall and weigh 64kgs. the Doctor has given me duromine 15mg for two weeks and 30mg thereafter for three months. i havent started taking these pills as yet as I am slightly nervous. I suffer from anxiety attacks and currently take Azor .5mg per day for it. The pharmacist said that there would be no negative interactions between the two however Id like a few more opinions before i start. 

Should I experience severe anxiety on Duromine, can I safely combat this with my tranquilisers?
Has anyone experienced effects similar to OCD? 

Id really like to talk to people who have anxiety or other similar mental disorders that have taken Duromine.

Looking forward to reading your responses.

Jade

Hello Jaed, I'm sorry but I don't understand why you are taking duromine at your height and weight your prety close to your healthy (BMI) duromine is a prety serious way to lose weight Personaly I think you should try an eating plan (Eg, redmeat 2 nights a week fish or whitemeat 2 nights a week and plenty of vegetables with each meal, oats and muslei's and fruits for breakfast's, vegetables and non citrus fruits for for the other 3 nights meals no breads or potato's at all do this for 2 weeks I guarantee youl feel great ) I'm 120kg 185cm tall age 27 if I don't lose the weight I will develop diabetes and heart condition, I know people don't need to be preached at but we need support and honesty. B.W
Goodluck in your life jaed

Hi, this is my third day of using duromine 30mg and ive already lost 3.5kgs! Basically its been working since the first day.. I have experienced a few side effects like really dry mouth, no sleep :(, tingly feeling inside and nausea. Duromine is working pretty good with me. I can eat like 2-3 pieces of fruit a day and feel full!

Dear readers: My experience with duromine has left me in a terrible situation... With this, I would like you to all consider duromine before you take it.. I took duromine 40mg, every morning. The first 3 days were fantastic I lost 4kg's had so much energy! The fourth day I fainted. Had no energy, a severe dip. This was my third month on Duromine. I have pcos and hypo throid so cud nevr loose weight. Duromine helped me loose kgs but to what avail-- I was on a strict eating plan. I lost my memory, I could not function, I didn't sleep, my moods were terrible I fought with my husband and its hard for men to unerstand wat you going through. I had diarrhoea,constipation, a racing heart beat, hernia, and It basically turned me upside down. Eventually It had a reverse effect on me I've gained weight this week, still on my eating plan. It does not work. It affects the chemical balance in your head and I've hallucinated and can't think for myself. It has taken complete control over my body... 3 months ... The worst of my life... I now agree, weight loss can be maintained through regular exercise and low carb diet. You can do it. Spoil yourslef. Have a small piece of choc when u crave it, u deserve it if u work hard FEel free to ask me anything

i was on duromines for 2 weeks and i lost 4kgs, I was never hungry but i slept well besides the headaches i did not have any side effects. they started working the first day i took them. @ Goojibear, were you eating enough my dear because if you skip meals then that is highly dangerous. you should never ever skip breakfast. i felt like i was gona throw up if i ate after taking the pills so i made sure i had my breakfast and took the pills after. drank lots and lots of water, I did a bit of excercising too. duromine trains you not to over eat, i have stopped.

Hi, i have been on Duromine for the second time now, the first time i was on the 15mg box and at the end i saw very little difference in weightloss, so i went to the 30mg... and i have been taking it for nearly 2 weeks now... and yet i dont feel any different? But i must say the first day that i took the 30mg pill i nearly died... i was on such a high that it felt like i was on extasy or something oh my word it was bad... but i work that energy out with a nice shopping session hehe. Anyway... so now im wondering if Duromine doesnt work with my body, cause i was on the 15mg and i am currently on the 30mg... but my weight on the scale stays exactly the same week after week... and i mean really... to pay nearly R600.00 for a box every single month is ridiculous... especially if its not doing anything??

Hi all,

I took Duromine last year and in short, it was effective for me. My starting weight was 72kg and lost 12kg over 5 months. With Duromine and moderate level of exercise the first 2 months (muay thai), I lost slightly more than 7kg. The following months, I continued with moderate exercise and calorie counting without Duromine, and manage to lose further without putting back any weight.

 

I was prescribed the 30mg dosage a day. I monitored how my body was reacting to the medication very closely since many reviews highlighted the negative side effects. After 5 days of consecutive intake, I realise it was too strong for me as I was beginning to get slight headache and felt very tired on the 5th day. So I stopped for two days to allow my body to rest. The following days, I took one capsule every two days and it was the right dosage for me! However, over the course, I did experience some mild headache at times and irregular heartbeat, not forgetting pretty bad mood swings. But I was hyperactive and fueled with energy.

 

I am very happy with the results. I think what Duromine did was to jumpstart my weight loss process. Sometimes, it is difficult to find the willpower especially if results do not show the first 2 weeks. However, once we see the results, we will be motivated to march on. On the flipside of the coin, I am not recommending this drug to just anyone because effects differ for each individual. For e.g., my sister tried it and she had bad headache and was unable to continue. Another friend of mine suffered from palpitations, and so she avoided as well.

 

In conclusion, know your body and monitor the first 2 weeks closely to ensure that your body is coping well. All the best in your weight loss journey!

What an idiotic comment to make, its very dangerous to dink while on it, google is great to find out why.
I think the 37.5mg came from off th net as there is no Dr prescribed on of that strength. I would never order it online I get mine from my Dr only.

Hey Everyone, i've been on duromine for 16 days now. i've lost 10 kg. by the 2nd week i felt like it wasnt working as effiecient as the first week. But by that stage i realised its a mental dellusion. Your body naturally would be going into a slight starvation mode - Because your not eating as much as your body is use to getting. But if you have a strong resistance and block out the feeling of being sluggy, and that your not going anywhere it'll start working. You have to make sure that you overcome thinking that it isnt working, because trust me it does. im now 2 days infront of 2 weeks and i can feel it working again. By the 3rd week it works again.
