Hi, i tried Duromine for 5 days already... the first 3 days is ok for me but i felt the side effects on the 4th day. i wonder how do u gals who took duromine stand the side effects? Any ways to cut down the impact of the side effects like vomitting and restlessness? I've still got a mth's supply of duromine pills left.

Hi,
can i suggest not to take duromine for long term. I took it for three years and after I stopped, I gain back double the weight. Heard it will decrease metabolism rate. Now I'm undergoing acupunture to increase back my metabolism rate and it works. I managed to reduce 10kg for the past 3 months. no side effect and definitly much healthier than duromine...

This is the second day i'm taking duromine and mediaxal, haven't been experiencing much side effect except loss of sleep and dry mouth, despite drinking 3liters of water daily.
Its doesn't seem to work very well on me cuz duromine didn't make me lose my appetite, but i begin to eat lesser, it could be the amount of water i'm drinking, as for mediaxal, i think it will still needs time to see effects.
I wonder if there's other peoples experiencing chest pain, at the left partof the chest(where the heart is). It doesn't disturb me much though, it might be just my mind playing a trick on me.
I'm not sure if it applies to others, its doesn't make me loss appetite, and i'm experiencing intermitent chest pain. No mood swing, NO headache etc... only dry mouth and loss of sleep. It makes me feel that i should stop taking it cuz of the fear of damaging my heart, since its didn't provide positive effects that will contribute to weight loss.
Or should i take 2 capsules instead of one? has anybody try taking more than advised from doc?
thats all for today, gotta run to the washroom, too much water, blosted now.

I've taken duromine years ago.
The side effects like throbbing headaches, loss of sleep wud last for about a week. U'll be fine when your body has adapted to it.
However, doctors have advised me not to take duromine for more than 3 months continuously.
Duromine is just an appetite suppresser, yes, it really works, and u'll lose alot of weight if u're disciplined.
But, it is true, once u stop taking it, you'll gain double your previous weight.
I've experienced it, trust me.

its been abt 2 weeks i have took this pills, and i stopped 4 days ago due to my period and side effects which i experience.
side effects experienced:
feel like vomiting
giddy
stoning most time
breathless
loss of sleep
chest pain
though i have stopped taking the drugs since last sat due to my period and the discomfort, i still feel giddy, breathless and chest pain, plus gastric pain due to not eating when taking it.

I'm going to see doc after my period if i still feel weak, be it due to period or drugs, i'm worried about my heart, but i'm happy that i've lost 5kg over 2 weeks.

Duromine
Hi Rose Garden,
When I was studying 10 years ago,I used duromine for 'stay up' purpose.I need it to make me alert and not sleepy when I wanted to study for exams.I was 68kg way back then.Within 1 month,I was shocked when I weight myself,I had lose up to 55kg.In 2 months time I managed to lose another 5kgs.
I stop taking duromine after I got married.To my surprise, I gained back 75kg.These 2 years time,I had been struggling with my weight issue.I lost my confidence.I feel depressed and hopeless.I did anything in the world to reduce my weight without success.Why? I jog n exercise everyday but I couldn't control my appetite!
A week ago,I decided I had enough of this excess baggage around my tummy,face..u name it!I went to a doctor and he said,I'm obese!I am 147cm tall with 75kg!He prescribed me with 2 weeks supply of duromine.It has been 7 days now.Guess what?I had lost 2kgs already.For the first 5 days,it was hell for me!I sweat a lot!I feel dizzy,I couldn't sleep!But it was ok after that.Duoromine is really effective but remember you must also exercise!I go jogging at least 3 times a week.10 rounds each time!But you will see the result!Another thing,u MUST eat breakfast.I don't eat rice for a week now but I only consume plain soup,soya bean,fruits..
I had bought 2 pants a month ago but couldn't fit into it.This morning,I tried them again.They fit perfectly!I can even zip and button it!I hope you will continue to take duoromine until you achieve your ideal weight.I wish you luck.Will update you again with my diet progress.

My medication was not duromine, but I believe the side effects are pretty much the same. The doctor prescribed me Panbesy, 50mg per day. I weighed 62 kg something and I desperately wanted to lose weight. Then, I started taking Panbesy before I had my breakfast... All the symptoms were just like you guys...: chest pain, breathless, severe headache/migraines, loss of appetite, sleeplessness.. you name it...
I lost many kgs within 2 weeks time and the next thing I knew, I was completely hooked to it. I was down to 52 kg in a few weeks or so...and looked haggard + tired + deprived of sleep. My mouth was dry and my complexion was horrible. The recommended duration is 3 mths and after that youre supposed to stop taking it, cause it'd damage your liver. Supposedly on the 2nd or 3rd mth time, it started to lose its effect, I no longer had any weight loss, but then I still had the same side-effects. To make matter worse... I had terrible migraines and dry-eyes problem.. I was so scared that I might lose my vision as at one time, it was completely blur and I was not able to focus at all...
Since then, I swore I would not take these pills anymore.. They will only harm your body and please stop taking it before it damages your liver... I gained a few kgs back, but I managed to discipline myself to go to gym + eat 5 x little meals per day + drink a lot of water; hence.. I'm back to my 52 kg
Just my 2 cents...
