- How to bypass the TGA lock and gain access to NGU? ✅
Hi guys, my name is Paola and I started on my duromine 7 day trial today. I hadn't even considered taking duromine until my doctor said it would be a good idea to try it out. I've been solid ever since I was a toddler but now I'm beyond solid and I'm ready for a change. I've taken my measurements today and hopefully next week they will show some differences (hopefully not from the boob area though lol, for a big girl I have really small boobs, I feel cheated lol).
So far, 5 hours in, I don't feel much different. I'm a bit more thirsty but I can feel that I'm more full from meals and have less cravings for snacking.
If anyone who has been on it for a while is reading this, could you give me some healthy meal ideas you really like? I'm trying to stay away from breads and pasta and would like to have vegetable and fruit rich meals.

Update
Been trying really hard to get back into healthy eating and eating enough to fulfill my requirements for my fitness pal. Last year using healthy eating and exercise I lost so much. Now I am using duromine, healthy eating, drinking lots of water and so far this week the weight is staying around the same. Think I am just one of those people that needs to exercise to lose it, even though they say it is mostly lost through healthy eating. I don't mind exercise, I am just not making time for it.
No more excuses tomorrow I step it up- hehehe or step it out
Symptoms
Not much at all, I don't sleep much anyway so I have not felt any sleep disruption.
Not feeling too hungry now which is good.Not tempted by bad foods.
No spacey feeling that has passed.
Get more headaches but need to remember to keep drinking. I have been good but yesterday was so busy I forgot to drink and had a massive headache for the last two days.
Going to the loo not going great, even with taking stuff.
Weigh in Wednesday, hope the weight loss catches up with me.

Hi Paole
Read this and thought may as well add something in...
I have been on duromine since the 5/10/2015
I snack mostly on lettuce leaf or carrot balls.. all depends how my mouth feels.. too dry lettuce or just nibbly carrot balls...
Hope to hear your results

That is awesome. I am hoping to achieve similar results with the duromine. Exercising is a bit difficult at the moment as had a hysterectomy about 6 weeks so I am hoping the pills and healthy eating will help until I can get back into exercising properly. I am able to go walking.
Day 4.
Well today as you can see is day 4. Side affects so far.....i feel a bit zonked out sometimes, sleep is fine...once I go to sleep, Im finding I forget things (this is probably old age more than anything lol). Havent eaten much in the past 4 days but I make my self eat. Breakfast is my main meal at the moment.

Not too bad. Next weigh in will be next Friday.

Don't let your fear stop you from trying xxAww thanks LS I needed to hear that today. You are right I do feel better and it should start coming off soon as I am eating so well. Maybe my body is adjusting. Leaving the scales alone for awhile and will weigh in Wednesday to see. Hoping dr will give me another script as he only gave me one month, would like to do the whole 3 to give me the best chance. Will see him this week, fingers crossed.
Such an emotional journey, you are doing fantastic and such an inspiration for using this drug to help start a whole new healthy eating way of life and not just a quick fix. Keep it up LS.

It has now been 10 days since i started duromine. I have had a roller coaster of a week. Still making myself eat and actually felt full the other night after eating which i have not felt since starting. Have been to the gym 4 days this week which felt great.
So overall a good 10 days. Not losing weight too fast which is good as well.

Day 16
Have had a toothache most if the week. Getting it extracted today. Have searched posts relating to duromine and anesthetic....should have read it early as posts indicate not to take duromine 48 hrs before........oh well we will see how it goes.
Okay back to my week.
Not experiencing any side effects now except not wanting to eat.
Weight loss wasnt as extreme as the first week but at least it is still something.

I would love to keep hearing your journey Denise as you started at the same weight I am now. I have been very nervous leading up to starting today as I just feel like this won't work for me. My family don't know I'm on it as they a very diet and exercise being the only way to lose weight. So I'm struggling keeping to myself though I know if I tell them and I don't lose any weight they will just rub it in my face.
Hello Denise (and other Duro Ladies!)
I have just found this forum & yours is the first thread I have seen and I am very encouraged. Congratulations on your success to date!
When you say you weighed in, are you referring to the Dr's rooms, or something more informal?
I just got my script today, and have a some plans to make still.

Hi Lolla i didnt even duromine existed until a friend told me about it. My family know i take it but the only person i tell about my weight is my husband....i believe you will do great and dont forget you have alot if suppoort on within this forum.LollaMonique said:
For me duromine has help me control not only my food but also looking at what i am eating which is leading to the weight loss. My goal is loose what i need and keep it off without duromine. Dont get me wrong i am not a health fanatic....but i am doing this for me first and foremost....look forward to following your journey.
Weigh is at home. Use the same scales. But going to dr today and will weigh with him to.Lj3 said:
