Duromine - anyone used Duromine tablets to lose weight?

[Je$$_84]

Chicklet- hope all goes well for you... i had sleep issues for few weeks... so be prepared fo rthat... I found if i took then early in the morning it wouldnt be so bad... Once i have stopped BF i'll be looking into some help as i have been again slogging it out and nothing and i thought breastfeeding would help with weight loss...

My hubby and I are on them, just started a week and a half ago, we are also doing celebrity slim (the shakes). I actually had put on 5 kilos in a space of two or three months. I just could not stop eating. I have had duromine twice before. This time around (3omg) I am not feeling so many side effects as I did in the past. I feel fine actually.

Have lost about 4 kilos already!

I figured, I might as well do the shakes whilst on the tablets. As I dont feel as hungry as I normally would be.

I plan to loose 15 kilos all up.

I found if I had my duro no later than 9-10am I would still sleep, and after the first month had no problems with sleep.

I was curious to know if most GP's give the prescription easily to people that ASK for them

Also what is the cost involved ???

Thanks

smiles4u some Dr's wont give it at all but others give it out easy My Dr knows the trouble i have had with my weight for the last 8 years and knows that i have tried lots of other things to lose it so he gave me the script no problems but i have "weigh Ins" every 4 to 6 weeks and he keeps an eye on me... They are pretty Expensive the 40mg ones are $125 for 30 Tablets Not sure bout the price for the 30mg or 15mg tablets.... In saying that i get my scripts filled at Chemist Warehouse and i only pay $99 for the 40mg tablets....

I have lost 25kg since i started taking them in April but i havent been taking them for the last 3 months and have lost 3 Kilos since i stopped taking them and just eating better and now i have sooo much more energy i feel like i wanna get up and do things instead of sitting on the couch and watching telly all day.....

Hi,

I am probably the odd one out here - I took Duramine for 3 months and over the course of 6 months went from 81kg to 49kg now (I'm only 5"3 high). I couldn't be happier. I have kept the weight off for 2 months now and seen a dietician who has congratulated me on safe, successful weight loss which he saw as just within the timeframe he would have recommended (ie, 6 - 9 months). I remain 49kg and have found that dieting for half a year has got me in a rhythm of eating sensibly. I have found something else strange - I now crave healthy food like hot porrige with prunes, cinnamon and bananna - YUM!

I did have some insomnia but found i would fall back asleep after 1/2 hr of waking. I felt energetic but not high or anything - a bit like when you have had a couple of mugs of coffee. Other than that, i found that i kept an appetite and ate at regular meal times but, that after eating i felt completely full and did not even think of food for hours. I found that empowering and saw good results on the scales. I don't think i noticed any change to mood except i wanted to keep active - it made me enjoy being on the move.

I would suggest Duramine to anyone I was fond of because it takes much of the frustration out of dieting. Cravings and feeling that hunger ache are the hardest part and this med removes it. To anyone checked out by a doc, frankly I couldn't recommend Duramine highly enough. I believe there is some misinformation circulating about these meds ("speed" tush tush) and I am dissapointed for lasses out there who struggle with frustration and don't need to.....

I ask one question - is cancer, hypertension and diabetes better?

Hi,

I am probably the odd one out here - I took Duramine for 3 months and over the course of 6 months went from 81kg to 49kg now (I'm only 5"3 high) with dieting (protein focused) and 50 mins of vigorous exercise daily. I couldn't be happier. I have kept the weight off for 2 months now and seen a dietician who has congratulated me on safe, successful weight loss which he saw as just within the timeframe he would have recommended (ie, 6 - 9 months). I remain 49kg and have found that dieting for half a year has got me in a rhythm of eating sensibly. I really enjoyed purchasing a new wardrobe and other girls could have this too. I have also found something unexpected - I now crave healthy food like hot porrige with prunes, cinnamon and bananna - YUM!

I did have some insomnia but found i would fall back asleep after 1/2 hr of waking. I felt energetic but not high or anything - a bit like when you have had a couple of mugs of coffee. I honestly can only assume that some people are exagerrating or that my experience is different because the energetic, driven feeling from Duramine is really quite mild. "Speed" is a bad chemical because it is produced in unregulated settings. Stimulants per se are not necessarily bad for you if they are produced and monitored properly - anti depressants are stimulants. I found that i kept an appetite and ate at regular meal times but, that after eating i felt completely full and did not even think of food for hours. I did find that I had to remind myself to eat but as I am not silly, i made sure i did. I found that empowering and saw good results on the scales. I don't think i noticed any change to mood except i wanted to keep active - it made me enjoy being on the move and perhaps mildly more happy. I had no trouble finishing use.

I would suggest Duramine if I wanted to do a person a favour because it takes much of the frustration out of dieting. Cravings and feeling that hunger ache are the hardest part and this med removes it. To anyone checked out by a doc, frankly I couldn't recommend it enough. I believe there is some misinformation circulating about these meds ("speed" tush tush) and I am dissapointed for larger girls out there who struggle with frustrating weight battles and don't really need to but may be put off by the sensationalism. GPs will generally prescribe this med if someone overweight is having trouble controlling appetite and hunger and is failing with diet. There is no embarassment to asking, a lot of GPs will probably recommend it b4 you ask.

I ask one question - is cancer, hypertension and diabetes due to being overweight better?

Hi, I have just started duromine this morning. I have put on 10 kilos since I had a total thyroidectomy in january and I am now a good 35-40 kilo's overweight and a size 20. My Dr has prescribed the lowest dose of 15mg just to help me with sticking to a healthy eating plan. So far I don't seem to have any side effects. In fact I still feel a bit tired this morning (I'm always tired, I'm a fulltime working mum of a 2 year old). So I'm hoping to just use this as a tool to help me with changing my lifestyle. Is anyone else here still taking it? And how are you going?
