Hello Maxy! Welcome to the forum and congrats with the beginning of your Duromine journey! May your weight loss progress inspire you to move forward!

I see you have classic side effects for early days of Duromine therapy and I am really sorry you have to fight them. The insomnia might take some time to subside. However, you can check out this thread and find some very useful tips on how to cope with it.

As for your headache. Yes, you can be absolutely correct. Insufficient hydration can result in headaches, just like insufficient food intake. Avoid total starvation and try drinking at least 2-3 liters of water per day, to boost the weight loss process, and to avoid unpleasant events. If you can’t bear the headache, you can have Ibuprofen or Paracetamol (whichever you usually use).

Will be checking up on you! =)) Best of luck!

Hi! I am so sorry for your side effects. I hope you will manage to get some sleep. If none of the tips help, try to get sleeping pills. However, you should inform the pharmacist about Duromine, so that you don’t take any drug that interacts with it. Insomnia does subside… it can get better on the 3-4 day, and I hope you will manage to survive till then and will continue your journey.

What is your goal weight? Did you make any weight loss plan? Best of luck to you!
