Getting Started

Hey all! I just started duromine today. I'm 17 years old, I have a 2 year old daughter (I know I'm young) and recently have just been gaining weight. It's been really hard to do anything, I feel awful about myself, and after my recent "break up" I decided that it's really time to get started on...

Good day. Absolutely no side affects!! Yay Sleep is great and not waking every hour so hoping that doesn't change. Still can't get back on the treadmill due to the old hip But did walk around the shops with one of my girls so every step counts atm until I can get back on there! Breakfast: Two...

Feeling a little bit constipated... Anyone else experiencing the same thing? Other than that it's going well, my appetite lowered. Haven't weighed myself yet...

all was good, no hunger , no headaches , no dry mouth, though I didn't eat much! Sleep was the usual waking often every hour or so but straight back to sleep, yay Was in a teary mood but think that has a lot to do with my daughter and all our hospital visits!!! I have a habit of getting caught...

Went really well. Drinking lots of water - I've been experiencing dry mouth. Not feeling hungry, I'm just eating at regular intervals. Otherwise no complaints

Yesterday went well, I ate more but feels like I'm coming down with the flu. Think this happened years ago when I took duromine too. Had to go get steroid injection in my elbow so no arm work for me for a week ggrrrr Apart from a couple times feeling light headed and a burning face the day went...

I have been thinking about starting duramine for so long but kept putting it off, because I felt embarrassed. 1: because I hate asking for help 2: Because I know its been compared to speed and I don't want my family doctor to judge me and 3: Well I didn't want to admit that I'm obese, the word...

sleep: sleep was horrible. I got about 4-5 hours of sleep (I took the pill 2 hours later than usual because I forgot) food: scrambled eggs, sourdough slice, mushrooms, latte. chicken cacciatore, tiny sliver of brie + biscuits. mood: still rather morose. likely due to time of the month...

Day 7: Yesterday was pretty uneventful, excess energy experienced in days prior is not really there as much now. Beginning to notice BM difficulty, will try and rectify that with diet. Weighed in at 70.9 this morning. Overall loss of 3.1 :)

Didn't realise I could start a blog instead of a post so I'll move all my entries into this blog instead. DAY ONE sleep: - food: ate fruits & veggies throughout the day and potato curry with rice for dinner mood: a touch emo (could be cos' it's almost that time of the month) but ok otherwise...

Day 5: It's currently 3.52 pm and after another night shift at work I woke up slightly groggy to a postman banging on my door with a parcel at 10.30 am. I didn't go back to sleep after answering the door, which wouldn't usually be the case, as I would generally sleep to at least 12.30-1 pm. At...

Day 4: After waking at 11.30 am I decided to weigh myself. 72.4 kg - so a 1.6 kg loss over basically 2 and a half days - promising stuff! I spent the day with my boyfriend and bought a 6 inch chicken salad Subway sandwich (not sure why I opted for subway, never eat it) I wasn't able to finish it...
