Getting Started

I have the prescription in my hot little hand today so it looks like I'll be taking my first one tomorrow morning. How do I feel about that? I'm not sure. I actually feel lots of things. Excited, unsure, scared, anxious, hopeful?

Hi, I've been prescribed 30mg by my doctor however I don't feel it is working to the full potential that everyone else is seeming to experience. As my doctor is a family friend she doesn't want to prescribe me 40mg so I'm wondering if I should take 1&1/2 of the 30mg to increase my dose to 45mg...

Hi there, My problem is eating after bed time. The toast/cereal chocolate is calling my name, and I can't settle until I have it. I have read countless websites, watched countless shows on weight and for whatever reason nothing matters in that moment. Today I started Duromine, I recently...

OK. This is going to be a slightly different start to everyone else, as I haven't actually started taking Duromine yet. My story goes: I have been on antidepressants many times over the past 4 years and the reason I take myself off of them all the time is the weight gain. Again, this week, I...

Increased to 30 mg this morning. No major issues thus far...just feeling a bit cotton headed. Didn't have the best nights sleep last night...probably got about 4 hours. I am so hoping to get the energy burst I read about, get stuck into some spring cleaning.( just not at midnight hahaha)...

All side effects gone. Have some days off now, so will trial increasing from 15 mg to the 30 mg dose and see how it goes. Feeling positive...resisted temptation to jump on scales today. Eating healthy, though way easier to manage portions. I'm one of those...gee I really enjoyed that healthy...

Was thinking f trying it but I'm not to sure yet? Is it actually worth it?

Slept like a baby... think the meds have worn off now...as I feel like someone who had only 3 hours sleep the previous night:confused: Been debating whether it's time to go up to the 30 mg, but think I will hold off to Wed...my next RDO in case it goes pear shaped re: side effects...

Day 6-16/11/14 Starting weight: 102.9kg 6 days after starting:101.6kg Loss:1.8kg I am feeling really disappointed with the small amount of weight loss that I have had. I have been on a strict 1200 calorie per day diet and the results are not really promising. I was down to 101.kg yesterday but...

Strange nights sleep. Though yawning, didn't drop off easily, and only slept approx. 3 hours. Feels like longer. Hopped on the scales and have dropped 1 kilo in 2 days. Not experiencing any other side effects aside from the dry mouth...which encourages me to drink water, so see that as a plus...

Been to GP got prescription starting tomorrow.

Day 3-duromine Well I am happy to report that I have lost some weight. Starting weight:102.9kg Day 3: 101.8kg Loss: 1.1kg I am feeling really great and extra motivated to put in the extra effort. I had a decent nights sleep last night. Was tempted not to take my lyrica but the back pain was too...

Day 2- Weight: 102.9kg, remains unchanged I feel great. I have more energy and I have a decreased appetite which is great. I have been having healthy food today so hope to get some results soon. Fingers crossed as I am on lyrica which has caused me to gain weight so I am hoping it won't...

Lay in till 530am this morning. Gold. Did a 5km bush walk at sunrise with dog. Vegg omelette brekky. Will weigh tomorrow and see how it's going. Off to swim a few laps now. I realize that the more you exercise the more you control the side effects. Still getting a lot done though

Hi All I'm new to Duromine and having a weird day. I was doing some research and came aross this site. Although I'm all the way in South Africa I'm sure there has to be someone (anywhere) who might be experiencing the same side effects. I'm almost 30, +- 1.68 and weigh nearly 100kg. I've...

Hey guys, i have just started on Duromine today i am on the 15mg for a month and just wanting to know has anyone lost weight being on this?

I am 37 years old, married with a 8year old boy and I live in Pretoria in South Africa. I never used to be overweight, in fact I used to be very sporty and skinny. But then I gradually started gaining weight. Adding to that the additional weight I gained whilst pregnant and voilà the one day...
