Duromine - anyone used Duromine tablets to lose weight?

[ninaaa]

Hi all,

Oshani, I have been reading through the above comments and suggestions, and was just wondering since your original post, have you taken duromine, and if so, how did you go with it? how much have you lost etc?

I have been on duromine for about a week now. on the first day, i took the tablet very early in the morning and i felt abit jittery through out the day, but since, i have been fine. I have not had any trouble with sleeping so i guess i am one of the lucky ones...
i lost 1.5 kilos in the first 2 days and nothing more since...

i am trying to lose as much weight as possible by mid Jan for my engagement (i know i started late but normal exercise and healthy food habits just didnt help me...).

I have also been using the Celebrity Slim shakes for b/fast and lunch, and then a proper meal for dinner, plus afew "healthy" snacks in between meals... Does anyone know if using both of these measures to try lose weight is ok, or not?

Any info will be great!

p.s Merry Xmas!

Posting about duromine in a positive way......

I have taken duromine before and lost weight from it.

Combined with an intense exercise program because I had so much energy (training almost twice a day every day) I went from approx 85Kg to 67Kg with excellent muscle tone, abs, etc.

I liked duromine as a weight loss tool as it gave me the energy to get off my lazy butt and also stopped me from all the snacking that I use to do.

The most important thing that I didnt do and what others said you should do was eat. I use to survive on 2 fish fingers a day or maybe a handful of saltanas. Not really the picture of heath!!

The other side effect that I had to deal with was the feeling of being smashed all the time (it is the same thing as speed so it was like I was clubbing in my head everyday). Driving became a little dangerous so I had to make sure that I would get sleep at night. I ended up taking mersyndol night time tablets to put me to sleep at night or the codral night time tabs. (Not a great way to deal with the side effects but it did work, wouldnt recommend ever doing that again).

I can remember cleaning out tupperware drawers and things like that at 3am in the morning!!! crazy but very productive.

Having said that, I wouldnt hesitate to take it again (obviously when I am not pregnant or breastfeeding). I know that it is not the safest way to lose weight but combining it with a healthy eating plan and using the extra energy you get from it to exercise then it works.

Meegm- your doctor will probably take your bp as well as if you have high bp h wont prescribe it so dont go in there all stressed, etc.

so for those of you who used this and lost lots of weight did your body go the way you wanted it? or did you have the flabby skin?
there have been comments on the cost... how much is it?

doudou,
My DH got a prescription a week ago for 30mg (30 tablets) and it was $111.95 from our overpriced chemist. Our PHI refunded us $50.

I just checked Chemist Warehouse, and for the 30mg, they charge $91.99.

Regarding the cost
Im taking the 40mg duromine and most chemist charge $125 but i get mine from Chemist warehouse and they are only $95 so there is a fair bit of difference in price...

Hi Nick

I found that after 2 weeks the Duromine took away my hunger completely, so I decided that I would open the capsule and take half, keeping the other half for the next day. By doing this I had a small appetite and my script lasted 6 weeks. SO if you calculate $95 by weeks it doesn't seem sooooo expensive.

Good luck

I used to sometimes take one every 2nd day to help it last longer..

I used them last year so I could trim down for my wedding.

They totally worked!! Prob was that my Dr should not have given them to me considering was def within my healthy weight range, so I ended up losing too much weight!! I lost 12kgs in about 3.5 months. I had no problems sleeping and wasn't really crankier than usual but I was really stressed with the wedding so don't know if that was made worse by duromine or not.

I was on the 25mg (Think that's what it was!) and if I ever have problems losing weight will DEF use them again cause I know they work!!! After I stopped using them I slowly gained weight again... not rapidly and it was needed weight!! So you do need to be sure to have a plan for after you stop taking it! It helps to budge the weight but it's up to you to keep it off!!
