Duromine

30, cis female, 149cm (4'11)

I'm going to try and keep this as short as possible, but I've had multiple tries with Duramine and wanted to share each experience as this might help someone who has tried it a few years ago and wants to try again.

First time was in 2015 or 2016. I was 85kg to 90kg unsure exactly. My doctor recommended and put me on 30mg of duramine to help me with losing weight as I was rapidly gaining at this point. I recall being on it for a month and losing 15kg but as a binge eater even when I wasn't full I still ate a lot so...

I am within my BMI - but i has 4 kilos that I have been trying so hard to shake and it's just not moving
any advice would be helpful thanks

I'm a 39 yr, Male, 192 cm (6"4). Spoke to my GP regarding options to lose weight. He recommend Duromine (Phentermine) with a 3 month goal and work out my goal weight and checking back in with the GP every month to check progression.

I started in Dec 21, with a weight at 130kg. Prescribed 30mg to begin with. These are my thoughts -

Started on the 30mg, taking whenever I wanted too not daily, as Phentermine is non addictive I planned in my own time when to take it. If I had a party or something I knew wouldn't work within the day I didn't take ...

As a vegetarian, my diet has never been my issue. But having had thyroidectomy the weight gain had been impossible to control. I did not
think that an appetite suppressant would work for someone with an already good diet, but man was I wrong! I finally have the energy I’ve been lacking for years. I eat one small meal for dinner (usually soup or salad) per day, and drink a crazy amount of water. The weight is just melting away and I feel amazing. Sleep is better than ever and mood is stable and back to my old self. I feel coming off it will be hard because I feel so good.

Have been on Duromine 40 for 60 days - so happy -10 kgs down - no side effects- feeling great- looking forward to the next 30 days- my target is 15 kgs - I might just do it

Good day.
I started with 15mg duromine 22 days ago and starting weight was 71kg,now I'm still at 71 kg and feel like giving up. Is there anything that works better

I started off on 15mg. After a couple of weeks my doctor upped me to 30mg. Does it work? Yes, big decrease in appetite. I had a dry mouth and trouble sleeping but it got better as it went on. I am an anxiety suffer. Not severe, never medicated for it as it’s under control. I hadn’t had a big anxiety attack for a good couple of years until I went on this. When I was on 30mg I had the biggest anxiety attack I have ever had, I felt like I was dying for an entire week. I went back to the doctor who said this can happen and he put me back on 15mg. A...

I have been on 30mg for about 10 days straight now. My BMI is 32.1 and I believe the fast weight loss is due to obese BMI. When you see good amount of weight loss during the course of this medication combining with calorie deficit and light exercises, it motivates you continue this healthy lifestyle.

Things to do:
- Drink medicine before 7am! It causes bad insomnia for me when taken after lunch.
- Combine with light exercises (I do badminton and some HIIT light strength workouts)
- Combine with Intermittent Fasting (Do not eat after 2pm). I ea...

I have PCOS and a binge eating disorder which has made weight loss hard for me in the past. I have previously tried Contrave as a appetite suppressant, but I had terrible side effects like vomiting and severe headaches.

So I thought I would try Duromine instead . I am on the lowest dose of 15mgs and I have NO side effects at all!! Just a bit of a dry mouth, but this just encourages me to drink water. Which I probably wasn’t drinking enough before . I am sleeping fine and I don’t have any changes to my energy.

I am hoping that maybe when I ...

I started Duromine 3 days ago my doctor said to take it every 2nd day but I read that you shouldn’t take it every 2nd day ( has anyone else taken it every 2nd day ?) don’t feel it’s suppressed my appetite still feel hungry and I get nauseous and have a headache every day. My sleeps been ok so that’s a positive I guess. I will keep taking it and see if it gets any better. I don’t exercise because I’m to tired but will soldier on.

30mg worked best for me personally. I got mild side effects like feeling thirsty and got less sleep. Found it so easy to control what I ate and how much. Stopped my sugar cravings. I found I had heaps more energy but couldn't drink any caffeinated drinks, otherwise my hands would be shakey. I highly recommend giving this a go. But use it as a tool to a healthier lifestyle. As soon as I stopped I felt hungry all of the time. Lost 20kg over 3 months. Age 26yrs. started at 96kg. Exercise; only walking.

Horrible side effects. Can’t sleep at night can’t concentrate during the day. Head always fuzzy and you feel like your head is in another world. Would never recommend this as a weight loss program.

I started taking Duromine 40mg yesterday. I did not sit down for the whole day and had soooo much energy!!! Job after job after job around the house. Normal breakfast, then took tablet at 8am. Started to feel effects after 1-2 hours. Not hungry, but want to still eat for nutrition. Just salmon sashimi for lunch and chicken and vegetables for dinner (reluctantly). Restless sleep, but I got enough.
Today I had a green juice for breakfast and then took the tablet. Started to feel really nauseous at 10am and actually had to find a public toilet to...

How long does it take for duromine side effects to get out of my system? I took three 15mg tablets mon- wed and stopped cos of the side effects and acid taste in my mouth as well as constipation, belching and bloating. Please someone help!!

Doctor told me this medication could have negative mental effects if I had a history of mental problems. I've never had any serious mental issues so I decided to take the medication. The first week was great, but I always had this weird feeling of being on edge. I would be sitting down and watching a movie and realize I am drenched in sweat. This medication activates the fight or flight response in the body to increase metabolism so I shrugged off this weird feeling and decided to soldier on.

During my second week, I was barely getting any sl...
