Day 15

A little over two weeks on Duromine, I've lost 5 kilos. I'm pretty happy with that.
I haven't been eating anywhere near as much as I used to be.

Side effects for the first couple of days...dry mouth, excess energy and trouble sleeping. After 3 days that all stopped and I didn't have any side effects, but I didn't have any energy either.

I was disappointed because lots of people were saying I'd feel really energised and not feel hungry..

I stopped feeling the energy after 2 days, and after a week and a half I started to feel hungry again.

I am going to catch up with my doctor once my monthly prescription is up, and ask about going on the 40mg. I'm feeling my hunger now and it's making me want to eat. The first week or so was great! I wasn't even feeling it. But now I'm starting to crave junk and want to eat and it's hard.

But I have lost 5kg and I am happy with that result. I wouldn't have been able to do that normally. I'm just finding it more difficult now to resist to eating bad food.

But so far it's good progress. :)

Well done on ur weightloss so far:)

U mention ur lack of energy, just curious whether u are eating enough to fuel ur body? Eating small meals/snacks more regularly worked for me. Also exercising seems to give me energy, I might not feel like going for a walk, but after 10mins walking with motivating music I get into my groove, end up walking anywhere from 30-90mins. Drinking plenty of water helps also.

I lost 17kg on duromine. I'm now maintaining my weight, just to maintain I now walk atleast 60mins 6/7 days a week. My advice would be to have a little junk food occassionally, just make better choices. Like a party pie instead of a normal sized pie. At KFC I just buy the zinger fillet and have with salad. Stick with it, it can feel a little overwhelming at times. But it is so totally worth the effort;)

Hi, thanks for the comment!
After nearly a month I've only lost the 5 kilos :(
I should be happy because I've lost something, but I am going to speak to my doctor about going on the higher dose.

The only thing I am concerned about is that is isn't suppressing my hunger anymore. Which is what I really needed it to do. Hopefully the higher dosage will make a difference.

I think my exhaustion and lack of energy is from my job. I have a big workload and its quite stressful.

Thanks for sharing some advice :)
