Duromine

I'm going to be very honest. I wasn't very big, I was 78kgs. Bought Duromine online, lost 15kgs in 3 months. Yes 3 months. Unfortunately, this drug acts the same as Meth (the harmful illegal drugs). Makes you very energetic, high moods, followed by days of depression, anxiety, sadness, moods & suicidal ideations. I lost my friends and family… Read more

relationships and nearly my job due unregulated emotions. The irregular heart rate nearly costed my life. Just loose weight the natural way.

Ok, Lets begin 5 weeks into starting Duromine 15mgs daily I went on the scales as a 56 years old post menopausal woman in NZ who had a knee fracture 1 year ago . The weight just piled on in recovery and post menopause I was 109 kgs 5 weeks ago ,lm now 97 kgs a total of 10 kgs down I do have to remind my self to eat as l have a quite demanding… Read more

job Yes it works, lm on the medication another 3 months by then, l hope l have the confidence to enrol in the gym and get fit and maintain my weight loss My lower back pain has got so much better now l have to admit . I'm hoping to go down to 80 kgs as l feel this is a good weight for me My mood has lifted and lm feeling more confident in my clothes which have all loosened up . Yes it was worth the Dr's visit to ask for the meducation and expense it was l just hope l can maintain this weight loss

Personally wouldnt touch it for the life of me – Started at 30mg a day. I was on this medication for 18months. I wanted to lose 20kgs. At the start, like everyone else, wasn't sleeping but energy through the roof it was fantastic (so i thought). Suppressed my appetite like it was meant to lost 15kgs. Didn't have to see my doctor just rang and done a telehealth appointment, script sent to the… Read more

chemist. And no, I didn't have to doctor shop, doctor at the time gave me 3 months' worth on one script.

15 months in, changed doctors, NEW doctor did blood test. DUROMINE had affected my liver, kidney to the point I nearly ended up referred to a specialist. Looking back the weight lose wasn't worth the side effects, first time ever I ended up on a mental health plan as I was suicidal, angry, moody I was everything you could think of. I had basically become addicted to the drug. My new doctor had to slowly over a number of weeks reduce my dosage amount to help with withdrawals.

After coming off the drug, i gained all of the 15kgs back plus additional 5kgs.

DONT TOUCH IT, GO SEE A DIETICIAN, NUTRITIONIST WHO EVER YOU CAN AFFORD TO SEE...

It works well for most – I have used duromine for the past few months and I take breaks off it as well so I don't take it every day. I have not had much in the way of side effects apart from sometimes having issues sleeping if I have taken it too late in the day. As for what it did for me. Well it took away that desire to snack all the time plus helped me reduce food… Read more

intake and get the body used to not eating all the time and the results have really surprised me.

I started at 115kg and as of today I am 98.1kg and this took in total around 5 months to achieve.

But I also have gained muscle mass from weight training and exercise so the true fat loss would be closer to 20-25kg range.

Still it's not magic and I have also given up most excess sugar intake like I used to drink coke all day long which I gave up over 6 months ago and now only drink water or sugar free drinks.

I have being over 100kg mark since I was around 17yo so to weigh less and be stronger than in my 20's is impressive and something really making me stick to losing the rest of the weight and gaining more strength

Also as a side note I had bad fatigue issues from long covid based issues and this medication also has helped me overcome that issue though it comes back after I stop using the medication for a few weeks. Still maybe I'll see if i can remain on a lower dose of it later on if those issues continue. I thought it might be helpful to anyone suffering from long covid related fatigue issues to talk to their doctor about it as an option.

wow!!! – DRINK WATER ALLL DAY LONG - no exceptions. This is your savior to combat side effects. I've noticed results, Im not heavy 60kg 5foot 2. I need to lose around 7 kilos as I was on steroids thanks to the vaccine and I became chunky , never have I been 60 kilos. So it goes like this: Day 1, nothing severe drank 2 litres of water Im used to drinking… Read more

a lot so it was easy. Cleaned the house until 11pm. Gardened dug 10 holes and cleared a whole trailer load of mulch. yay Ate one meal, had no hunger pains. Felt alittle nauseous every now and again, however drank 400 mils of water and it helped. Day 2, headaches came and went - drank water to counter . I didn't stop all day, ate dinner, drank water all day long. Im conscious water flushes kidneys and any build up and water works wonders - restless sleep both nights. 6k's on treadmill, (the old me was shining through). Day 3 - went to work and ploughed through my work, went for a 5 k walk did house work. Day 4 - no headache , worked all day. walked 5ks and Pilates in the evening,

I noticed my body took time to sensitize in the first few days, this or that was a little strange, but not overly. I can't recommend drinking water enough as I feel some people aren't used to the amount required to maintain side effects. The weigh has fallen off, can i also recommend that weening off this medication is the way to go as I have friends who crashed at the other end of 3 months. I've taken for 2 months - lost 8 kilos. perfect result. Food: make sure what you eat is nutritious, just because your calorie count is low doesn't mean the fuel you use can be anything. Protein, lean fish, lean chicken , fruits veggies, the flavor isn't an issue when on the meds as the cravings for sugar are not there. Eat healthy it will set you up at the other end fo the course. I had two coffees a day with 3.30pm being the cut off. I always ate a salad with trout, avo celery which I found was enough to get the vitamins required. If you don't eat you'll get a headache, the body still needs vitamins and nutrients. Nothing here will change except the 'type' of foods' you would normally consume. Hope this helps

Happier in my skin – I've been taking the 30mg for 1 month and have lost 7.9kgs. Started at 99.3 kgs, now 91.4 kgs. I feel great! Couple of sleepless nights but nothing major. 20 min walk daily and changed my eating habits to healthier, well balanced meals. No alcohol also throughout month. 2 months to go to reach my goal weight of 85 kgs. Really happy with results so far. Show details

killed my appetite – i've been on it for about 3 months. i don't take it every day so i've only just started the second months pack. i don't weigh myself much but noticed my clothes fit better or got baggy. when i did weigh i was down 7kg (15lbs). i don't excercise and eat whatevers on hand but as i'm rarely hungry; i usually grab a protein shake w/fruit on days i don't feel like eating at all. side effect were minimal initially and pretty much non-existent now. Show details

I lost 13kgs! Just watch the side effects and prepare for the withdrawal – I’ve given 5 stars because Duromine did exactly what I wanted it to and what it claims it does - made me lose weight easily and rapidly. I found that it was really helpful when I used it to assist with my intermittent fasting. It was much much easier to skip a meal every now and then (which helped with the rapid weight loss). I also found I had a… Read more

massive increase in energy levels and focus which made it easier to get up earlier and head to the gym.

Obviously there are side effects as detailed on the box and I did experience a few of them. When I first started taking it, I felt super wired and buzzed to the point that friends and colleagues noticed and mentioned that I needed to relax, and I did have a lot of trouble sleeping at night. These symptoms died down after about two weeks. I also noticed intermittent headaches throughout my entire use (however they’d go away quickly with pain-relief meds), and I noticed that my anxiety became worse and worse throughout the 3 month course, resulting in me stopping about 2 weeks early. I’d lost enough weight at that point anyway.

A BIG thing I’d recommend that I wish I’d done is TAPER OFF - DO NOT STOP COLD-TURKEY. My fatigue and lethargy when I stopped were HORRIBLE for about a week. I had to call in sick for work one day because I was so exhausted and couldn’t muster the energy to exercise for a whole week. I slept in until 11 at the earliest on my days off work too.

In summary, I would absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting to lose weight rapidly, but would definitely recommend properly researching the potential side effects and what to expect, and making sure you are ready to handle sleepless nights and that ‘wired’ feeling at first.

Really not a fan – I have taken it for two days and felt awful. It’s not for me I just don’t feel comfortable. Now I’m stuck with these unwanted tablets. I need to dispose them.

Sleep deprived – Prescribed Duromine as unable to lose weight. I did explain to the Dr that I have no appetite since being prescribed Gabapentin many years ago that had so many side effects. I do not snack, rarely hungry and set alarms to remind me to eat small portions. Hence this medication was definitely not for me. (30kg to lose, 15kg put on taking… Read more

Gabapentin) No sleep hardly at all, like your mind is constantly racing and major headaches, dry mouth, constant thirst. At $126 which was also a shock, I will seek other advice for poor appetite and constant weight increase, maybe Endocrinologist. Be very careful coming off this medication as I also had a dreadful time reducing my Gabapentin which alters the brain functions. Medication I will not touch now knowing the problems.

Not sure if it works – 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 Show details

Third time's a charm! – 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… Read more

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 as soon as I stopped, I gained again plus more. The only side effects I remember at this point was excessive sweating at the slightest bit of activity (like folding laundry) and an extremely high s e x drive. I 'played with myself' 10-15 times a day it was that bad.

Second time was in 2018 and my experience was worse. I was in the high 90s to 100s in weight and I was put on 40mg. I had extremely bad insomnia as my only side effect, something I didn't experience previously. This effected me terribly over the 2 weeks that I was on it. I stopped as I was wide awake all night, and tired and lethargic all day. It put a strain on driving to and from work, and also effected my work performance. I ended up losing my job as it was too late to come back (I was still in my probation period so they felt these two weeks of bad performance was not good enough).

Third time I tried it was 2022, for the month of June. I finished pack 1 yesterday.

A lot has changed since above, I underwent gastric sleeve surgery in Jan 2019, went from 120kg to 60kg in 2 years but halted. In the next year and a half, I gained 15kg back as my binge eating had stopped, but I started getting into the bad habit of snacking. I am still restricted in eating, and try to eat as healthy as possible, but snacking ruined it and I needed assistance as I did not want to waste the hard work I put in to stop my addiction and binge eating, the exercise etc. Gastric sleeve is not magical, I worked HARDER after having surgery than before - for those who feel it's a cheat etc. It's definitely not, as you can see, its not magic. I still gained when I stopped putting in effort.

My experience this time was MUCH better and different. I was 74.9kg when my doc put me on 40mg to help me curb the craving of sugar and sweets. My first week was when I experienced my side effects to maybe mid 2nd week. I havent been able to weigh myself as I don't have a scale at home, but I lost 3.5 inches from around my stomach.

Side effects:

- Insomnia for ONE night. The first day I took it, it was a surprise tbh. I took the pill at 7am when I wake up, tried to sleep at 10pm, fell asleep at 4:45am or so and woke up again at 7. The following nights I slept normally. - No sweating - Heart racing when I did slight activity, like vacuuming or laundry. Nothing bad, or painful, I would just sit down and let it relax. - Extremely bad taste in my mouth no matter how many times I brushed my teeth. It tasted like I ate... what comes out of you... this lasted about 1.5-2 weeks. - Nausea when eating anything for the first 2 days. This subsided UNLESS I took the pill and then ate 1-2hrs after rather than immediately. I sometimes took the pill as I ate, sometimes a few hours later. Sometimes I wouldn't feel hunger and realise I hadn't eaten once that day. You have to be mindful. - I felt hunger again after taking pill at 7am around 5-6pm and sometimes it was insatiable. - I drank alcohol once which was 1.5 small cups of vodka raspberry, this didn't affect me negatively but it did make me tipsy/drunk very quickly. I drank alcohol 15 hours after taking my pill that day. - I mildly had constipation for about 2.5 weeks on and off. When I was able to go during these 2.5 weeks (which was usually every 3-4 days) it was multiple times, or painful.

Other than that, the month was quite smooth. It seems like the side effects mostly lasted less than 2 weeks. I'm about to start my 2nd month.

Hope this has helped others.

I am within my BMI could I still get Duromine – 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

Really works for me – 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… Read more

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 it that day.

Phentermine is a long acting medication. My appetite suppressant effects started after an hour or two after taking and effective for around 12 Hours. I didn't feel like eating but it really makes you think about what you eat while its effective. To supplement this, I would eat fresh fruits and take a multi vitamin. Maybe a banana or so for lunch and only eat when I felt like it. In the first week I didn't feel like eating at all but knew my body needed something.

The first 2 weeks side-affects were really strong but by the end of the script in the afternoons I started to feel the hunger coming back. by this time I had lost 10 kg's. So I was happy and took a break from taking but still getting the scripts from the doctor unfilled.

It will make you very active, I doubled my output at work 100%. It makes me feel motivated. I was doing around 10,000 steps per day. this increased to 20,000 (16kms) when having. While active sweating was very present, so water intake is key. Keep hydrated.

Sleep isn't a factor for me as I wake up at 6am and its the first thing to have that day. But still alert at 8pm.

I have just filled my 2nd script, 40mg which is the strongest available April 22 at a weight of 110Kg (20kgs lost). My plan is to get under 100kg as my goal. Last 10kg will get me there.

IMO Phentermine worked. It changes your mindset, eating habits and provides you with the energy that you don't get from fasting. I rate it 10/10 for anyone in my situation.

Scripts are $90-$100 as its not listed on the PBS and I go with the genetic brand with extended release option. but joked it off with my GP as I saved money by not buying food and takeaway.

Thyroid sufferers rejoice! – 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… Read more

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.

Melt away fat – 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

No so great if you suffer from anxiety – 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… Read more

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 couple of weeks later my anxiety is triggered again, not as bad as when I was on 30mg but enough to be completely overwhelmed by it. I’ve decided to go off it entirely and seek if there are other options as it’s not working for me. I have though lost 4-5 kgs on it. Dammit, wish it worked for me.

3kgs lost in 10 days – 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… Read more

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 eat the medicine with banana in the morning at 6am to kick off the day. I usually feel full throughout the day. - I usually eat less to little carbs and sugar (Once a week is fine). I try to eat much protein meat and vegetables during lunch. - Drink plenty of water!!! - Use generic brands (Metermine) to save yourself about 30% in price. They have exactly the same contents and produced by the same company in Australia. Duromine is more expensive because it is a brand name known worldwide.

Things NOT to do: - Drink alcohol (This medicine can be quite toxic for your organs to process and combining it with alcohol will be lethal) - Having this medicine for long term usage. I believe this medicine can help you kickstart your weight loss journey within 1 to 2 months. Anything longer than 3 months can be harmful (Talk to your GP).

NOTE: I am not a doctor. Talk to a GP for professional advice.

2kgs lost in first week – 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… Read more

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 go up to the 30mgs I will get the energy boost that other people have mentioned.

Overall I am happy with this medication. 2kgs down in the first week. I am eating much smaller portions and my cravings have disappeared. Therefore I find it really easy to make healthy food choices .

The only exercise I am doing atm is walking my dog 5kms 3 days of the week.

Not sure – 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. Show details

Great lost 20kg over 3 months – 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… Read more

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.

Duromine not recommend for weight loss – 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. Show details

Cautious – 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… Read more

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 vomit!! Has anyone else vomited? I’m hoping it’s not the dutomine because that wouldn’t be sustainable. Also hoping I didn’t vomit up some of the tablet goodness. Started to feel better after about an hour. Went to sushi train for lunch. I’d normally have 4 plates, but was perfectly happy with 1. Not super hungry. The 1 piece of toast with cream cheese and salmon for dinner with green tea. No alcohol on a Friday night!!! Has anyone had alcohol while taking duromine? Not nearly the same energy levels today. Overall feeling a bit vague and heavy in the head and maybe a little bit dizzy/uncoordinated, but very subtle. Interested to hear if others have had a similar experience. And walked both days. Jess

How to get it out of my system – 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!!

Do your research – 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… Read more

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 sleep and it was not improving like the doctor said it would. I still had a really bad hunch about this medication and I felt really stupid for not doing my research earlier.

I found out that this medication is very similar to amphetamines. Yes you read that correct, this medication is what you would call a cousin of crystal meth. Some further digging uncovered that this medication is linked to a common side effect called "Phen Rage", which basically means what is sounds like. People acting and thinking like lunatics.

I would not suggest this medication to anybody who values their sanity or good quality sleep. Sure it will curb your appetite and help you lose some weight, but I feel like this would be really short lived. Once you are off the medication, your appetite will return with a vengeance and you're likely to gain the weight back, like many people have reported.

I am ecstatic I was only on this medication for a week and a half.

Wouldn't use again – So i tried Duromine a few years ago, was great for appetite suppressant but was keeping me awake at night so i stopped using them and won't use again unfortunately Show details

The results are great!! – I have been on duromine 30mg for 8 weeks and so far I have lost 9.5kilos. I was 90.6 kgs when I began and now I’m 81.1kgs. I’m only 19 but have struggled with my body image for a very long time. Last year due to being in lockdown for so long all I did was eat. I was buying take away a lot and wasn’t eating healthy. I had a lot of stressful stuff… Read more

going on and felt that binge eating was the best way out of feeling stressed was to indulge in a high quantity of food. I used to be about 78kilos and then by this year I was at 90 kilos. I jumped up 12 kilos. Which made me feel worse. Not being able to wear clothes that used to fit made me feel so insecure. I stopped checking my weight and stoped looking in the mirror. I was a size 16 and now I’m able to fit in some cloths that are a size 12. Most people are doing a lot of exercise to loose their weight but I’m not doing a lot.

I’m the exact same as every person that starts something new. I googled and researched for other people’s results,blogs and journeys to see what maybe my potential weight loss might be. I didn’t really want to belive it as I had tried stuff in the past and nothing worked. I gave it ago and within in the 2nd week I had lost about 3 kilos. And from their it started to go up. Just loosing a few kilos felt amazing!!

I missed one whole week and a bit on the medication just because I didn’t have the money to get the medication. But started back again on it on Friday. People are starting to notice the weight loss which feels amazing. I’m only at 8 weeks and have another roughly 8 weeks to go. I’m only on the 30mg and only on it for 3 months once I finish the tablets I’ll be getting the injections. I’m so excited to see what the next 8 weeks bring.

Not going to lie the side effects aren’t the best, I get dry mouth a lot and headaches nearly every day. I feel some days amazing so much energy but some days no energy at all and I just feel washed out. Tbh I would definitely recommend duromine as it can help. I have pcos and hopefully loosing weight will help me get rid of my pcos.

Thanks Jess

Its Working for me… – When I started on Duromine 5 months ago, I weighed 180kg. Straight away it worked for me. No more cravings and lots of energy. I’ve lost roughly 10kg a month with a total loss so far of 55.4 kg. I’m feeling great but still have long way to go. I stick to basic meal plans as I’ve pretty much lost interest in food. Just have what I need to stay… Read more

healthy. I recommend taking vitamins while on duromine. I had some of the minor side-effects but it’s been worth it.

7 day review – I actually visited my GP to ask about ozempic originally. Turns out you need to see a specialist about it. In the meantime while I wait for that appointment he suggested duromine 30 mg. I am mentioning this in case anyone else might want to look into another weight loss medication. Anyway, I was very reluctant as I had used this over 10 years ago… Read more

but ended up abusing it back in my younger days. This is an amphetamine. It’s legal speed. So here I am and I really need to shift this weight as on my own nothing was budging. So I gave in and bought the generic version metermine which cost $89 from chemist warehouse. And doing it right this time round, I wanted to share my experience so far. I’m 165cm and my starting weight was 82.9 kg. 7 days later I am 77.5kg. I’ve lost 5.4 kg. So far for me this is working. I did a detox before starting duromine to help get rid of all the toxins in my liver which I felt might have been hindering my weight loss mission. And so therefore maybe the duromine is working for me because of the detoxing. I take mine upon waking. Start feeling full effects about 3-4 hours later. Long lasting energy. On the daily my mouth is dry, But not excessively. Heart rate goes up and have hot flushes at times. Definitely staying up til early morning. I was already suffering mild insomnia though just not this bad. Definitely a bit more short tempered but I am due for my period. Sometimes feel like a zombie but not totally brain dead. Day 1&2 had no interest in eating. From day 3 made a conscience effort to at least snack on something healthy around 5 or 8. I love not eating. And I had already started intermittent fasting before duromine. I do have a thermowhey protein shake an hour after waking and if I don’t have solid food later I’ll have shake in the evening also. To not eat is not sustainable though. All these side effects I can manage and will probably only do one more month. What I wanted was to get my weight moving again and it seems to be working. I’ll utilise this duromine and lose as much as possible and after this I’d truly prefer to continue my journey naturally. Also forgot to add have not done any form of exercise due to my cold that just won’t go away. However I do have 2 toddlers and a consistently messy house that keeps me busy through the day.. please I suggest to do seperate research on duromine and amphetamines. If you do do this obviously your doctor should know better than anyone else but I’ve seen women who really can’t handle the side effects. Being a Cranky zombie sucks. If that happens with you just do your best to overcome it. Hope this review helps you towards making an informed decision about taking duromine and good luck in achieving your weight loss goals
