Sorry for not reading though everyone elses before adding my own but there is a lot to get through lol.
I was first prescribed 15mg but after about two weeks, there was no weightloss or any other side effects. With nothing at happening, my doctor put me straight up onto the 40mg. Within 10 days, I had lost 5kgs. The only change to my diet at this stage is that my Family from over east came to visit so we were eating out for almost every meal My workout routine was the same. I dropped 15kgs on Duromine 40mg before it stopped affecting me (about six weeks) so I had a break from it. My weight yoyod a little, never more than a 5kg gain. After a while my body learnt to cope with the weightloss without Duromine and I went on to lose a little over 20kgs from my starting weight which is what my goal was at that stage, to be 95kgs down from 117. Two years on and I did gain a little weight back but that was purely through bad eating habits and not working out.
The bad side-effects I had on it was slight paranoia, I got scared that someone would be hiding in the dark lol and I felt a bit shaky on the inside but it didnt show on the out, quite a weird sensation to me, like having too many redbull lol. I didn't get mood swings, high BP or any troubles sleeping at all. I did have a lil more energy than normal and wasn't needing my nanna naps anymore which was good as it meant that while DS was sleeping, I could get some housework done
That's it from me and I hope that helps some people
