I have been on 30mg for approx 2 months now and I have the following observations:
Negatives
I can't believe I am listing all this as an actual negative, but here goes... Apart from the first day, I have had no side effects. None. And to be honest, I thought that first day may have been a case of low blood sugar, but I have had that checked since, and I am normal in that respect. To be honest, I feel like I have been given a placebo.
Positives
The thought of being on a "weight loss drug" has changed my thoughts. I now take longer eating than I would normally, and I question whether I am actually hungry rather than eating mindlessly before I stuff my face. I don't have any increase in energy, although my car broke down two weeks ago, and I have been walking to and from the train station to get to work, around 20 mins each way. I am still drinking around 3lt water a day, nothing unusual. My last weigh in brought a 0.6kg gain, however my fat percentage lowered by 4% and muscle increased by 3%.
Conclusion
Even though I doubt the Duromine is working, I am still pretending it is. Starting Monday, now that I have my car back (and my lazy ass will not be walking to the station) I will be doing strength work every morning and doing the C24k at lunch time during work hours. If anything, Duromine has shown me how lazy I have been getting in my eating/exercising regime, and I plan on changing that.
All up, I have lost around 7kgs this year so far, and am planning a lot more before the year ends.
