I've been off Duromine for a few months now and continued to lose a bit of weight. I'm 67kg now. I'm not as hungry as I used to be. You can keep it off once you stop.

I haven't been on here for ages. I stopped Duromine to do an IVF cycle, which unfortunately ended in an ectopic. The IVF made me out on a bit of weight, mainly fluid, about 3kg. But besides that I kept off the weight I had lost on Duromine. I had to wait for 3 months to do another IVF cycle so...

I weighed myself yesterday, I walked past a chemist with scales out the front so I thought why not. I am 80kg - I don't take off clothes or shoes to weigh myself. It's not as much of a weight loss as other people have had, but I've been exercising and I can see muscle definition appearing on my...

I had my Duromine on Thursday, and I was due for it on Saturday morning but I woke up with a horrible migraine - I get them sometimes, they're triggered by hormones. So I decided to skip it for the weekend. I was wondering if I'd get withdrawal, or get super starving, but nope.....nothing. Well...

I started on 15mg, didn't do anything, so upped it to 30mg which I took every 2nd day or sometimes I'd take 30mg one day and 15mg the next. I just took 30mg 3 days in a row because I'm running out of 15mg tablets and want to keep them in case I need to taper down. Last night I was so sick. I...

Well it's been exactly 2 weeks and so far so good. I went to my doctor and she weighed me and my weight is 82.5kg so I have lost 7kg in 2 weeks. She did say that it would probably plateau out and expect to lose 1 or 2kg max per week. I've been on prednisolone for maybe 6 months, and I stopped...

I'm extremely tired, I am wondering if it is the Duromine causing this because it is not as bad on the days I skip them? I had 2 restless nights to start with, but ever since I'm sleeping 10 hours a night and would sleep more if I could. It's 10am and I feel like going back to bed. I'm also...

Today is the end of the first week. So far I've tolerated Duromine very well, the first two nights were restless but after that it was fine. My GP gave me 15mg and they don't do anything, I find 30mg every second day much more effective. It has curbed my appetite so I'm eating smaller meals and...
