I found that thread interesting as well. It is really hard to talk about duromine in a positive way as you know that what it is doing to your body is just wrong.

It is a drug- it is basically speed. So if you think about it, you are on speed every day and just as people who do take speed and go out clubbing, etc, you do lose touch with the world and become spaced out a bit.

I couldnt sleep (no matter how early in the day I took them - usually took one about 5am as I was already awake).

Something I just remembered as well was that I couldnt read properly!!! I know that sounds strange but everything became blurry. To read what i am typing now I would have had to shiut my eyes take a massive deep breath of oxygen and then open my eyes to see the words on the computer.

Another bad experience that I remember was a day that I went outside for a run (it was quite a hot day but I was invinsible as I had so much energy on duromine). I was running around different neighbourhood streets in the middle of the day and I remember stopping as I had the most incredible heart pulpitations, I remember searching from house to house looking for a tap in a massive panic and then collapsing under the one bit of shade that I could find. It was a scary day and I stopped taking duromine after that day.

I then put all the weight back on after stopping duromine as I couldnt exercise as I was sooooooo tired (I probably hadnt slept in months) and then i just wanted to eat.

If you take it properly (eat healthy meals), exercise regularly then it is great but there are some serious side effects.
