    Duromine Month 2

    I was super surprised to be honest I guess because I hardly feel hungry anymore, I am able to control myself with food. Even though I would eat some delicious food, I was able to consider how much of it I was eating and roughly balance it in my mind. I have been getting more active (especially...

    Duromine Month 2

    Thank you very much Anne! I have always been so self critical that I often fail to see the changes in the mirror, so taking these photos has been a great thing for me. I’m actually feeling really good. Can certainly feel the difference! My partner also says he can feel it when he hugs me which...

    Duromine Month 2

    Hi everyone, Just wanted to do a quick check in with a progress photo from today (please excuse the underwear). I think I’m nearing the end of my 7th week, though I took probably about a week off Duromine because I had a really nasty cold and wanted to get adequate rest and not over stress my...

    Duromine Week 1

    I just finished my 1st week, and have just flown home from site (I work FIFO). I’m on a combination of Metformin (treating insulin resistance from PCOS) and 30mg Duromine. It didn’t take long for me to adjust to the medication as after a few days I was sleeping well and wasn’t pinging like a...

    Duromine Day 2

    Hi Cal, welcome! How is everything going now? Everybody has different experiences with Duromine, but I am surprised that your appetite hasn’t been suppressed at all. The lack of sleep and headaches suggest to me that it’s working on some level, but perhaps give it a week from your first tablet...

    Newbie here! Im Excited to Start.

    Hi Pink, and welcome! I am by no means a medical professional, nor have I been using D for as long as some others have. I will try to give you some answers (from my own understanding): I think most people stay on 30mg. D comes in 15, 30 and 40mg. It will depend on what your doctor thinks is...

    Hello everyone! It’s been a few days since I blogged last, and that’s mostly because I am in the midst of moving house. I am still shuttling my belongings from one townhouse to another, up and down stairs. The last few days I have managed to easily hit all of my Fitbit goals haha! My body is...

    Week 1 - Day 3: Not very productive

    Hi everyone! Last night I didn’t end up taking the 1/2 tablet of OTC sleeping aid, but did manage to get 7hrs 3min sleep (according to Fitbit). I still woke up at 5am to take D, but have found that I am not feeling a huge boost in energy. I think I am probably a little more awake? I don’t know...
