Hi
I started duromine 30g yesterday and didn't feel too hungry but did eat. I had headaches and felt dizzy but that lasted for about 4 hours. today I didn't feel hungry at all. I even forgot to eat. I only ate once. But the side effects were bad. Burning sensation in my ears, dizziness, tight chest,short breath. Shortness of breath was quite hectic. I just ate and the dizziness is much better so it is important to remember to eat even if you are not hungry. I don't mind the dry mouth because naturally I dont like water but now I drink 2 litres daily. I think I will take it every second day until I am used to it because the shortness of breath really freaked me out. I just want to know is it safe to have coffee while on duromine? I just love coffee.

Hi @NPM :)

I too love coffee! I have had low blood pressure most of my life and was advised to drink coffee to keep it up. Hence my coffee addiction started, and it was completely normal for me to have 6 - 8 cups of day!

When I started Duromine I was told coffee could increase the side effects. To be safe, I weaned myself down and on a good day I have 2 - 3 cups and on those days that I JUST HAVE TO I will have 4 :). Of course its black - but I cant let go of that 1 sugar!

For me personally I haven't noticed anything different.

However, as you seem quite sensitive to some of the affects, its probably best to introduce it slowly. Maybe have a cup - drink it slowly and note if any of your symptoms increase?
