Hi, I'm 163cm and 65kg. I'm not overweight but my weight is on the heavier side. I've put on 15kg after having my 2nd child. I have been on duromine 30mg for about 1 week. Experiencing racing heartbeat, feeling really nervous. 2nd day having headache and mild diarrhea. Feeling restless. Sometimes I sleep well sometimes I can't sleep. Has anyone experience this? Is it ok to continue taking?

Hi, I've been on 30 for a week but suffered real bad headaches, Dr dropped me to 15 no headache for a few days, but are starting to come back. Feel very foggy in the head, and feeling anxious and heaving over thinking thoughts on everything said to me. Anyone else feeling like this.
Never had any mental health issues before

It might be due to dehyrdation. I drank a bottle of hyrdalite . Instantly I felt better. Start drinking more water . Because you're probably sweating alot and you dont even notice it.

Jessica M.asked

I started using duromine 40mg a week ago. The side effects have reduced day by day and I almost feel as if I haven’t taken it? I’m also starting to get hungry again, and wanting a sweet treat. Any idea why this is? Or has it happened to anyone else

Same for me, but I was only on Duromine 30mg for 3 weeks. It doesnt work for me now either. Do we get immune to it? I am thinking about stopping for a few weeks, then restart and see if that works

I’ve been told that the effects wear off after 3months, my gp recommended that I take a break for 6mths then start again, unfortunately those 6mths I managed to put most of the weight back on!

Hi deb, today is my 7th day on it and I can say I got nothing negative to say about this product however we all do respond to each medication differently so some people may feel side effect worse then others I guess talk to your doctor and see what they say. All I have to say is positive things but once again we all respond differently good luck on your weight loss jorney wish I could help more

Hi guys a few weeks ago I started taking 30mg and my anxiety was through the roof and I would have highs and lows in my mood I was just wondering if this eventually goes away or not ?

Hi there, personally I have not experienced any real highs and lows. I’ve been on the tablet for 4 weeks now. I experienced a bad anxiety attack the other day but besides that, nothing. My doctor told me it will increase anxiety so maybe go and talk to your doctor about it to see if there are other ways to tackle it. It’s never a good thing to be constantly going from and high to low mood. I hope this helped and hopefully I understood what you asked. :)

My Dr suggested duromine but i fast until lunch which is too late to take it, if I take in morning with water am I breaking my fast, I'm getting mixed answers, please help.

1 answer
Natasha
Natasha

I don’t fast. But my doctor said you can take it in the morning either with or without breakfast. I don’t think you’re breaking your fast if it’s just the tablet and water. Water helps to wake your body up and kick start your digestion. My responses are just my own findings and it’s best to ask the professional.

Im using Duromine 15 mg once a day in the morning. I am not hungry and only eat once a day. I feel the pill is making me very constipated?

Hey Anika yea i had the same problem! Try drinking lots of water & fruit at lest once a day. I found having metamucil every 2nd day with orange juice helped move things along :)

How can you poop if you're not eating? It's not Duromine causing constipation, it's your diet (or lack of).

Jules Maher

Jules Maherasked

I was wondering what the half life is of 40mg and wondering if it would be safe to take it twice a day because I am finding that once it wears off that I am absolutely starving and will eat anything and everything.

2 answers
Natasha
Natasha

I am not 100% as I am not a doctor. I suggest going and seeing them. But it is said that you should never take a double dose. Maybe adding more protein to your diet, or having smaller meals more frequently rather than having a few bigger meals. Your doctor will definitely know more than me.

Jules Maher
Jules Maher

Thank you for responding. I should clarify perhaps that I was not suggesting taking 80mg in one hit. I more meant whether it would be safe to take another 40mg tablet once the first one wore off. Thanks anyway for your answer.

Started taking 40mg today as 30mg wasn’t doing anything. Unhappy to say that I feel the same. Thinking about food all the time and hasn’t suppressed my appetite at all. I’m hungry and just want to go to bed.

Are you still on and how do you feel now ?! Because I’m on 30 since 2 days and don’t feel any changes ... except that I don’t sleep really well this is it. I could even say that I’m starving and craving for junk food still...

Amac
Amac

Yes it’s unusual. I did start the 40mg and still didn’t really feel any different so I have stopped taking it now.

I have been on 15mg ages ago to kick start and it works well you need to drink lots of water with it, I find that helps the suppression too. And get busy clean house do other things . When u feel hungry drink one to two glasses of water before eating, u will still eat but find not as much

I know people here, and the P.I. Say no alcohol, but why? What effect does it have? (I have done some reading, I know about increased risks of addiction- not me, increased risk of cardiac issues and high bp- again not me. I don’t want to drink a lot just a wine or two...)

Hey it increases your heart rate & theres a very high chance of a heart attack. I had 1 small beer (middie) while i was on the pills (7 months) and felt sick & felt very tipy just off that 1 beer

I recently did just that and yes for me there was a marked difference in the quantities. 30mg only had a slight effect while the 40 mg's have suppressed my appetite and given me an energy boost.It has only been a few days but I feel losing weight is an attainable goal for this (former) ice cream addict. I only paid $88 from chemist warehouse.

Amac

Oh that’s good to know, thank you for replying. Wow and only $88. I rang them today and they quoted over $120!!

Hi, yes me too! I was on it 15yrs ago and remember feeling a bit queasy and would get halfway through a sandwich and could’t finish it but this time I’m really tired and want ALL the food, it’s weird.

Hi everyone, I've read all the reviews....I've been on Duromine 30mg for the last year & half. I've lost 42kgs (not all the kgs from duromine, I've started my life changing journey on 17/05/2016 - weigh in was 117kgs). I've stopped eating carbs, sugar and starch (basically I'm following the Atkins diet) I take my Duromine 30mg at 04:00 on an empty stomach in the morning, that's when I get up to feed the animals & clean stables (dogs, cats, cattle & sheep) I go to work at about 06:00 feed my 3 dogs at work, then I start exercising (bearing in mind I do have fibromyalgia) which doesn't always allows me to do a full workout or to work out at all especially when I'm constantly in a flare because I don't give myself or my body time to heal or relax, because of the pain I don't sleep (not the duromine) I don't eat breakfast because I'm not hungry, I do make lunch our main meal (own business cook at work) and supper time I'm not even thinking of food. Hope you guys will stay positive because this a really good product & I have had no side effects what so ever.

Regards
Nicolette

fat burning pre workout while on Duromine... (specifically Oxyshred)

has anyone taken a pre workout while taking the 30mg?
I have seen mixed answers when I look into it, either very for or very against so its confusing...

I wanted to see if anyone here has either tried taking both or anyone asked their Dr or someone knows something that I don't
thank you!!!

You best to go to your doctor to get his/or recommendations. I've heard some great success stories of men on 30mg.
Remember it's not a miracle pill. You must put the effort in too see results.
