    Not Losing Weight on Duromine

    35kg!!!! Holy moly thats small. I was gonna even say to you before that dramatic weight loss like from things like eating disorders or drug use etc, will throw the body out of wack and makes it easy to put weight on. It messes up the metabolism. That definitely might play a part in why your...

    Not Losing Weight on Duromine

    Hey Larnie, what dose are you on? If its 15 or 30mg, ask your doc to step you up to the 40mg. The tablets are too expensive to buy and not get results. You probably already are doing this, but make sure that your meal portion sizes are small, plenty of water, and shake up your routine of...

    Boost To 40 mg?

    Hi Miss T, the kgs youv lost in the 5 weeks is really good, as you arent at a really big size and the smaller you are/get, the harder it is to shed the weight. I also went through a 2 week plateau were absolutely nothing would budge either way. Frustrating!. But sure enough it started to move...

    Newbie here! Im Excited to Start.

    Hi Biddy, most docs are a bit hesitant about giving the drug so its understandable that yours didn't put you on a higher dose. If you feel she'l listen to you, you could re approach her saying that you have done much research as you feel as though the drug isnt doing what it should and you...

    Newbie here! Im Excited to Start.

    I suppose the smallest dose is good to start with as everyone takes to duromine differently, but by the sounds of it, you might need to go on a higher dose. Judging from my experience, when I started, I couldnt even force food down and had no appetite. I also went quiet but very active and...

    Duromine and Health Issues

    Hi Danni, don't get disheartened by your weight going back up. Its most likely just your bodies water fluctuations and will probably keep doing it all the way through your duromine journey. Plus anything you lose in that first one to two weeks will all be water related. If your doing everything...

    Anyone Had Success After Duromine?

    Those first few kilos that you lose quickly is just water retention and will fluctuate back on if you stop your dieting. After about a week you will begin to lose the actual body fat. You can still lose weight not doing an exercise routine if your diet is strict and your meals a small and...
