hi all, I am a newbie on Duromine and first time taking something prescribed by the Doc. here's my long story cut short :) I am 31 years old shoo typing that has all of a sudden made me feel old hehehe. well I have never been a skinny girl average most of my life it all started when I started trying to conceive my darling son in 2008/2009 where I found out I have POCS(super difficult to loose weigh with that as well) hence I had fertility to have my son and then the pregnancy all added up to my clocking easy close to 100kg mind you I am only 1.65m so I was way over my BMI and a south African pants size of 16. after having my child I lost a few kilos but always stayed around 90-92 kilos until I experienced quite a stressful time in our life with my son being diagnosed on the autism spectrum which help my shake about 10kilos blessing in disguised I guesss hehehe. Oct 2013 marked my first herbalife weight loss challenge and then my second etc. which I lost on total of 23 kilos bring me down to 67-68 kilos I was beyond chuffed with myself I am a perfect 10 and I actually buy size small's!!!!!! but yes there is always a but I had to go onto anti depressants about 5 months ago to help me cope with all the ups and downs of the autism dealings I have now climbed up to 74.8kg I know it might not sound massive to most but to me I was devastated I had worked so hard to loose the weight and I train like a mofo at gym and every time I got onto the scale it was a kilo up and I couldn't deal with it any more so I went to the Dr Monday 23.03.2015 and with out a hesitation he prescribed me 15mg Duromine, however I have read quite a few blogs and stories that most are on 30mg so I just doubled up my dose and so far no side effect but I do feel more energetic which is brilliant :) I would love to hear from anyone about there success etc..

kind regards
Kelly

Hi Kelly

Nice to meet you. I also had so much energy the first 3 days but it soon disappeard. I have lost 6kg to date and I am on day 18 today. The first couple of days the weight just feel off but now I am at a standstill but I am thinking it is cause I don't have much more to loose. I am taking it day at a time. I will go for another month to make sure that I keep my eating habits the same and maybe a third month but after that I will go off. Hope to hear from you soon.

hi ladies

thanks for the replies, nice to hear from you both :) well done Rene on your 6kg lost shoo that's brilliant, it does get tough to loose the last few kilos I know all about it!!!!! I have not changed much on my eating cause I generally don't eat badly but I have found that my appetite is starting to decrease now which is great cause the antidepressants really increase that to another level. I weighed myself on Monday which marked one week on Duromine and I was 1.7 kilos down (happy dance) lets hope it carries on!!!!
Missduromine wishing u all the best on your returning onto Duromine hope those stubborn kilos fall off :) I know how depressing it is to have those extra kilos a person feels uncomfortable and sluggish been there got the t shirt :) hope to hear for you ladies soon with sum positive weight loss

:)
