Hi Elyse,
Was reading through this for motivation and saw your post was recent so thought I'd reply! I'm in Aus too
I started Duro 30mg a month ago, and I have lost 7kgs. Started at 71, now am 63.9.
For the first week I got rotten side effects, yukky tasting mouth, bad breath, REALLY bad heart palpitations and anxiety, but I completely lost my apetite which I found AMAZING! Just ate a large healthy dinner of a night (meat and plenty of veggies) and that was enough. I couldn't sleep at night, so had to take sleeping tablets which wasn't ideal, but after the first week, the side effects seem to subside somewhat. My heart still races at times, but I can kind of just breathe through it. I think it's a great motivation booster to help you get going really quickly
And I totally get what you mean about heart racing, but still yawning!!!
I don't have any real tips, other than try to keep busy, as I find that now the hunger is gone, I'm only tempted to eat out of boredom! Good luck with everything and keep us posted how you go x
