Hi, Emz91. I have. I used to take 15mg about a month and I lost 12kg. Then my doc increased the dose...Are you saying you have no loss on it?

Hi Em I have been on 15 mg Duromine for 13 weeks with a couple of weeks off when I was sick & went on holidays I have lost 15.9kg ... With very minimal side effects being dry mouth (drink plenty of water) it really does work.. However you do have to be motivated & stick to your calories & exercise plan ... It's not a magic weight loss pill ;) but it really does help reduce your appetite :) Good luck wishing you every success :)

Thanks guys i hopped on the scales this morning and it says i lost 3.2Kg in 5 days so iam quite suprised when i got on the scales on tuesday i looked and had put on a 1kg but now it has come off yeah i have lost my appetite and been drinking about 7 bottles of water a day and exercising like there is no tomorrow... I havent really been sleeping either seeing as i am taking the duromine as soon as i get up for work which is 6am but when i go to bed im wide awake any ideas of what i can do?

Great loss Em :)...Well all I can say is as far as sleeping concerned is I have mostly good nights up to 8 hrs then I will have only 5 hrs ...however it does get better over time... I have learnt not to fight sleep ...and if I'm lying awake I close my eyes and relax I don't stress about it ...I drink green or camomile tea occasionally I will have a diet hot chocolate with skim milk and lots of water .. No diet soft drinks or alcohol when I'm taking Duromine
:laughing: Have a great week try not to weigh yourself to much as weight fluctuates and you cause yourself unessesary stress ;) I weigh in once a week sometimes I cheat & check my weight a couple of times but mostly only do it the once :p

maybe you'll find something helful.
Keep going and keep forcing yourself to eat. Because you need it no matter what you do. Once you are off the pills, your appetite comes back and you will have to eat normally again. So, keep that balance not to gain extra weight after the therapy.
