Hi everyone! I am on Duromine for the first time. I am starting with 15mg in month 1 and will do 30mg in month 2 and 3. Goal is to lose 15 - 17 kgs. Currently weigh 82 kgs.
I am now on day 2. I could not sleep at all the first night. On day 2, I do have energy and am feeling a little bit of hunger. I also have a headache, a little bit of a buzz and thirst. Nothing too hectic though and nothing I can't handle. I find I have more focus and energy at work today. I took the pill earlier on day 2 (at 5:15am) than day 1 (7:15am) which I am hoping is going to help me sleep better.
Hello, dear
@Marija S! And welcome on the board.
Insomnia and headache are common side effects for the first week. You did everything right! You should take the pill first thing in the morning (4:00 or 5:00 AM).
Here are some great
Tips To Improve Your Sleep:
1. Make sure you take the pill at the same time daily. If you start taking at 6.00 a.m. then do this every day. This will teach your body to spread the energy evenly throughout a day.
2. Your daily activity should be higher than ever, because when you are tired (physically) you sleep better. That's a fact.
3. Drink more water. Lots of users say it really helps.
4. Take 4-6 meals per day. I'm not joking. When you lose weight, your body still needs to get all the nutrients for living. Just make small main meals and a couple of snacks in between.
5. Spend less time in your bedroom (I don't know if you do or not, just a tip). The point is that your bedroom should be used only for sleeping, never work or spend time in it.
6. Before you go to bed in the evening, air the room.
7. Before sleep, take a glass of warm milk or a sedative tincture (herbal based - for example Passiflora), helped me. Just a couple of teaspoons.
8. Read a book instead of TV or computer at least an hour before you are going to bed. It has been proven that TV and computer makes your body agitated, therefore you cannot fall asleep for some time.
9. Make sure your last meal was at least 2 hours before sleep.
10. Take a walk in the evening.
