Duromine – Does it help?
Duromine is an appetite suppresant and contains phentermine as the active ingredient. Its a prescription drug and is not available over the counter. Duromine tables are available in 3 strengths, 15mg, 30mg & 40 mg. Since its release, Duromine has been used successfully for helping people lose weight. Duromine is recommended only for obese or over weight patients and is to be used in combination of healthy diet & exercise. Duromine is considered good only for patients with high cholestrol, high blood pressure or diabetes.
How does Duromine work?
Duromine is as appetitie suppresant and reduces appetite by affecting the central nervous system with its active chemical ingredient. Phentermine, the active element in duromine affects the neurotransmitter in the brain causing stimulation in the area that controls the appetite. This stimulation to the brain results in the hunger craving to be turned off by the brain. Long term usage of phentermine is not recommended as long term usage tends to make phentermine ineffective. Phentermine can be addictive and hence is a controlled medicine.
The resin mixed with phentermine creates a slow release effect and extends the effects of the pills over the time. This usually results in less craving for food and hence weight loss. Duromine also acts by breaking down the stored fat.

I personally would not reccomend them what so ever. Fast weight loss is not healthy…so keep that in mind.

Well 2 this is my 3rd day On duromine have to admit this is the first thing that worked for i had to kids one after the other and no matter what i did kept on putting it on , i am 70 aiming for 60 .... The only thing is i can not sleep but if it works i can handle the rest i feel so down and very unhappy ....
I have been on Duromine for about 10 weeks now. I have lost 12kgs and feeling good. It has happened slowly for me as I am adapting to the change. But they do say that 1kg a week is healthy because if you lose it too fast you are likely to put it all back on and more!
I have been drinking plenty of water and eating healthy for awhile and they seem to be working really well. I have suffered minimal side effects and the only thing I find that affects me most is insomnia. I feel wide awake at midnight when I used to go to bed at 10pm. So now I’m usually asleep by 12.30am. It is a bit difficult getting up early for work but I find I catch up on most of my sleep in the weekend and to be honest with my success at losing weight that I have struggled with for years I can put up with the lack of sleep.
I have found I’m never hungry and I would forget to eat, so I do advise that you plan your meals or at least eat at typical meal times, and also morning/afternoon tea- but of course eat healthy.
I have adapted well to taking Duromine and will continue to take it until I reach my desired weight.
I started off at 108kg and now I am 96kg. I am aiming for 80 realistically and plan to do the last part on my own as I think you shouldn’t rely on Duromine too much, you have to learn to change your lifestyle to healthy food and daily exercise, if you do this while on Duromine I am sure you will get a great results as I have!!
Good luck!
hey everyone i am thinking of going duromine but am worried about it staying in my system as my works requires drug test every now and then, so if anyone knows how long it will be great if you could let me know thanks
unsure....
Hi all, my name is Kleah and im a 35 yr old mum of 4 children.
10 - 12 yrs ago i did abuse duromine, i was a very thin woman 5'10 and 60 kilo, i used duromine as a party drug or a high... I had depression and had lost a child a few yrs prior so was on a terrible fall....
I stopped drugs though i stayed on valium prescribed from my gp to control my anxiety...
when i used to take duromine 40mg i had energy, clubbed and partied for days on end and never ate...
2 yrs ago my depression returned and i went from a size 8 to a size 20! ive been so ashamed i havent been seen in public for a long time.
after remembering the weight loss from my "drug days" i went to the drs a month ago and was put on duromine 40mg.
I have been taking one a day at 6am... i still emotionally eat and feel tired during the day. I sit on my pc and google or fb most of the day.... i dont have any motivation, i find it hard to walk or excersise being 130kg... in the first week i was falling asleep on the duromine but now it keeps me up all night (not active just mind speed) and i have gained 3kilo.... second week i gained another 6kilo...
its 1 am and im awake due to the duromine and have a dry mouth but i have only gained weight...
has this happened to anyone else? im so depressed i cry alot, i over react to things and have no will to do anything but sit.
ive opened up my past abuse not to be abused just to be honest so please dont judge me for my past. im just a very depressed woman on duromine, gaining weight and in need of someone to chat to.

Hi all, thank you for information sharing @ least I have taken Duromines knowing exactly what to expect. I started it on the 7th Dec, & had a lot of energy culd sleep for 2 days afterwards I was okey. I avoid by all means flour, bread, dairy, cheese & do not eat red meat. I eat small portions of steam veggies & skinless chicken, alter it with grilled fish. I use brown rice & Basmati instead of normal white rice. Also use canola & olive oil, just 1 spoon when necessary. Today, 15 Dec after coming back from gym my heart seem to be beating fast & that worries me but thats part of th side effects. I have lost 2kg so far frm 81.4 to 79.4 & my deried weight is 61 kg :(.
Hi everyone. I'm a newbie to Duromine. Just started takin' it (11.12.2011). I want to lose weight. I am 90kg. I have not feel any of its side effects yet. I hope Duromine works for me too.
Duromine
Today is my second day of being on duromine, the first time yesterday taking it I felt a bit weird almost like the feeling you get when you have your first couple of cans of alcohol and you're feeling a bit tiddly then through out the day I just have allot of energy don't feel tired like I usually do then slept well apart from having terrible dry horrors where I felt I couldn't swallow until I had a glass of water which soothed this, I then woke up with a blood nose in the morning not sure if this is due to duromine today felt really good once again allot of energy and the dry horrors came and went through out the day then tonight had another blood nose apart from all that I feel it working I am eating less and don't feel hungry as often looking forward to good results in the near future and wish anyone else on it well and good health I am 110kgs and hope to drop down to 80kgs with the help of duromine exercise and healthy eating :)
I've been using it for a week now, yes I have sleepless nights but I dont mind Im looking good
Its been a week now, the only thing I have noticed is, Im very emotional, I cry a lot, and the first 2 days I suffered from a headache. I guess its normal, but I feel lighter, and I have lost some inches because i can fit into some clothes I stopped wearing. im giving it a chance
hi tomorrow will be a week for me on Duromine, my first weigh in i cant weight to see how much i have lost so far. they seriously work wonders i recommend trying them iof needing help with weight loss and so far the side affects are not to bad felt a bit weird the first day in the afternoon but nothing else until today i woke up with a shocking headache and still got it now but that's something i can live with to help lose weight, although i do hope it is gone by morning :)
Good luck everyone be sure to post and let us know how you are going with your's.........

Hi,
I have been on Duromine 30 mg for over a month . Only lost 3 kg. The doctor prescribed 40mg for he next month. Hopefully will lose some more weight. Am not impressed with losing only 3kg. No side effects .Only thirsty all the time. I do bootcamp twice a week . walk for about an hour every day and have not been a big eater. I have 1 weetbix every morning. Lunch is salad and dinner piece of meat with vege. STILL NOT LOSING WEIGHT
I have started taking duromines 2 days ago although i knw i have nt lost weight,i do feel lighter and that is a good feeling. I usually go to bed at 10pm bt last night i went to sleep at 2am n still i had to force maself to fall asleep besides dat i dont have any side effects.Im hoping to lose 7kgs.Goodluck to us with duromines.
Hi there
It’s day one for my, I kinda have a slight headache I feel good…Just not sure what to eat, is there any specifice foods I need ro eat? I am wanting to back to a No.6/8 which means I need to loose 10kg…
My initial weight is 73.2Kg. My 2nd day on Duromine, my weight has gone down slightly to 72.8Kg. With all the side effects mentioned in the article, so far I felt only dryness on my tongue, short of breath and low sex drive. Couple with my workout in the gym, I hope to reduce my weight to between 56Kg to 60Kg, so that I fall in the range of healthy BMI. What I really need now is viagra! haha…
Hi I just started on Duromine 30mg it’s my third day and I’ve lost 1.5 kilo. The first day was the worst very bad head ache dry mouth. Next two days no symptoms apart from feeling a bit confused at times. People go on about how bad it is but if your over weight then it’s not bad !! It does the job gives you a kick start to a healthier life. So far I’m happy and I hope I lose another 9 kilos. I’m sick of going into my wardrobe and nothing fits me it’s depressing !!! But I must say I do get paranoid about what it does to your heart.
hey guys so i just pushed my first supply of duromine, i’ve just turned 18 a couple of weeks ago and have been struggling with my weight since a young age . im 175cm tall and weigh about 95-98 kg i hope this works for me and hopei dont get any side effects. im aiming for 75 kg WISH ME LUCK
@anon: Best of luck with your weight loss. Keep us posted about your progress.
today is my first day taking duromine. i dont feel like eating and i’m feeling great. Looking forward to loose weight with additinal workout as it works best
I AM GOING TO TAKE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FEB I HOPE IT WORKS
Hi everyone. I had a baby last year i went from 73kg to 92kgs and i seem to be having troble losing the weight. Im thinking of taking Duromine and im hoping it works for me i need my figure and body back. Has anyone taken it after birth? has it worked for them?
after gave a birth,my weight went from 60kg to 76kg. i took duromine 30mg for 20 days and lost 11kg and i go for walk in the afternoon and do some light exercise.Its really work.I hope you give a try.
I,ve been on duromine now for 6 weeks going too the gym every day for around an hour and just cardio training minimum weights . so far i have lost 20 kgs and plan too keep taking it. main side effects i get are loss of sleep , faint, and get angry over little things. i havent really been eating much but i try too have a salad a day.
Hi there Luke……well done on your weight loss………I have been reading through all the comments and the only one I relate to is yours.
I have tried Duromine several times but I always end up feeling so moody angry and light headed, battle to concentrate…and wide awake…i started on 30mg again today and feel horrible?? Any suggestions…eating a salad a day is not healthy especially if you are exercisng as you are not feeding your body with the energy that it requires i also gym for an hour everyday…i also have no appetite at all….
Hi everyone.
I am on duramine again since last taken was in 2007. I’ve gain 7 kilos from emotion eating few months ago. I have to say it is a good kick to starting up on goal. There is a side effects as hart rates raised, Dry mouth ( good to make you drinking water) but not headache but it has kept me to go to sleep till 1 am for first 3 days…. i have to say that the side-effects aren’t too bad and i totally can live with it. I took it around 10 am after having a ultra-lite sachet multi minerals for a breakfast. then lunch time at 2 pm on meat and vegis and keeping a high protein diet goes on for dinner and having some little nuts or ultra-lite sachet during every 3 hours like a snak break. Sometimes i only have a miso soup with lots of sea weed for dinner or mainly 100 gr of meat and salad as most of dinners. I am a hairdresser spent loads of energy during the day and always have been a bad eater on dinner once i got home and wakes up with feeling sluggish. With doromine i feels great every morning since i had almost nothing on dinner. Great level of energy everyday and feeling flat tummy confident. I leave doromine free it on sunday and eat whatever i wants like giving a good break. It has been 2 weeks and i feels awesome, lost 2 kilos which isn’t too bad ( my goal is 6 kilos). I’m planing to have it for 6 weeks.. and with a great habit rehab on duromine for 6 weeks. I am sure i will be back to the best way eating. xxx
Where cannyou buy duromine?
Hey. You can only get Duromine on prescription. Visit your Doctor and if he thinks it’s necessary, he’ll prescribe it to you. Most pharmacies stock Duromine.
hi everyone
my goal is to atleast weigh 70kg’s
today is my first day I am a 23 year old female and weigh 93kg, that places me in the bracket of being obesse for my age. I have seen all the comments and I hope that Dromine 30mg helps>
Hi all, Im 30yrs, weighing 67 and 1.56m tall and have started Duromine today. Is there anyone of my weight who has used Duromine before, has it worked? how much you lost in what period? Will it stop my cravings for sweets, chocolates and cakes? IS THE CHANGE IN SEX DRIVE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE?
Hello, I have four days of taking the pills and really have not felt any side effects, but I have a question, I have 23 years, weight 75 kg and my height is 1.63, the pills can help to me?
@STEF: Duromine can surely help you however your doctor needs to prescribe you Duromine. You cannot buy Duromine over the counter.
Hola, tengo cuatro dias de estar tomando las pastillas y en realidad no he sentido ningun efecto secundario, pero tengo una pregunta, tengo 23 años, peso 75 kg y mi estatura es de 1.63, sera q me funciona la pastilla??
Hi all. Yesterday was day 1 for me, am on 40mg/day. I did not sleep a wink last night. I know poor sleeping can be a side effect, but is it likely to continue? I can handle an interrupted sleep, or getting up early, but not sleeping at all worries me – need to be able to function for work. Cheers
@anton: Your body will adjust to Duromine in few days post which you should be able to sleep properly
I’ve lost 6kgs in two and a half weeks and I’m not a big girl. I find that if I rather have something small to eat in the afternoon, it keeps my appetite away till the next day, so I don’t crave to eat again for Dinner. I do this as an alternative to eating in the morning, and again at night, because I haven’t been exercising and have a deskjob which doesnt exercise anything but my keyboard. No side effects, except occassionally feeling nauseous after eating (this happens if I carry on eating after I start feeling full) which is fine by me!
I start feeling full before even finishing what I’m eating – this really works for me. I keep passing my food on to my boyfriend. No jitters, or shakiness, no rapid hard heartbeats, no moodswings that I’ve noticed, no sleeplessness and no lethargy either. I’d highly recommend it. I would suggest though if this is not making a difference for you in the first week, then this product is not for you. Thanks for Duromine!
Hi. Just wanted to find out what your diet on a daily bases included
HI,FIRST DAY ON DUROMINE,IM FEELING VERY THIRSTY AND URINATING A LOT.NO HUNGER PANGS SO THATS A GOOD THING.I REALLY NEED TO LOSE TWENTY KILOS.I WANT TO KNOW HOW LONG CAN I USE DUROMINE FOR
It is recommended that Duromine does not get used longer than three months.
I have been taking duromine 30mg, dieting and going to gym everyday. Today is the 5th week, i managed to loose only 5kg. I am wishing to loose lots of weight as i am weighing 85kg now. I am aiming 65kg. I dont know what to do as it seems like its taking time to loose weight. Please advise!!!!!1
i used it for a month and yes it works, made me drind water a lot and eat fruits but now am having almost all the side effects, high blood pressure, diarrhea,pains in the heart and very painful stomach craps. Help!
What is the side effects for ” changes in sex drive” seems like nobody commented on that yet.
Hi, i have been using Duromine for 2 months now, no side effect,i drink a lot of water,and still eat normal,but i haven’t lost any weight so far,Please advice what should i do?
You probably need to use a diffrent product. Years ago I used Relislim and Kel6 (not the natural one, the prescription one) for 2 months and it worked amazingly. I recently tried it again, but it didn’t surpress my appetite at all. Now I use Duromine, and I sometimes forget to eat. Different products for different people.
It increased mine… More energy wanting it twice a day where as before it was if i wasnt tired which i always was.. Living with just myself and my 3 year old… I still feel the need to eat when im bored tho but not as much…
20.12.11..todays my first day to go on duromine 30mg I took my first dose @ 7am and its now 11am I can notice a change in my eating habit Im not craving for coke and Im craving for fruits and drink heaps of water I weigh 104 Im hoping to drop down to 80..I just wanna change my food portions to small ones and able to get into a routine to exercise daily..and be active..
Hi all, I seriously want to start using Duromine but do not know how I will get a prescription, do I just go to the doctor and ask for it. My weight is about 90kg and would really like to loose weight.
@Zinhle: You need to talk to your doctor about controlling your weight… Its up to the doctor to decide whether you should be prescribed Duromine & what strength.
Where can I get duromine and how much does it cost in Malaysia
@Celine: Duromine is available only with doctor’s prescription. You cannot buy duromine over the counter. If I am not mistaken, Duromine 30 costs around 85-90 AUD in Australia
hi iam meena i use duromine for 2month in i got the result i lost 10kg iam happy to too use anther month to get my goal i was 86kg now iam 76kg i want too lose about 8kg then i be rich my goal i look good and i feel great
Hi
I am almost 4 weesks on Duromine, started the 18/11/2011 and am down 6.3 kg. I am so excited. When I started on this, I used to go sleep +- 22h00 and woke up at 4 and started cleaning house before going to work and never got tired once. I eat plenty of fruit and drink plenty of water. I got my sencond month supply today so we will see what happens in the next month. I have also lost 9 cm’s around my waste.
thanks for the comments, I also need to talk to someone about it, I started on Duromine around 3 months ago, and in the beginning I really liked what they did, I felt more energetic, and seemed to burn the energy off so wasn’t having trouble sleeping. But lately I have been really grumpy, and sad, crying easily and short fuse, Im not sure if its end of the year and am tired, or the pills. I have lost about 10kg, and am going to the gym regularly, I originally went on them to help with smoking, as I always put so much weight on that I go back to smoking. but am starting to wander whether the mood swings are worth the weight, I am worried that if I stop taking them I will pack it on again, but am not a happy camper in all areas, I look great, and loving the body, but the mind is a minefield…..
I think you’ll feel worse if you put the weight back on. I haven’t used it long enough to know at this stage.
i have been on duromine for 4 weeks now and have lost 14kg i dont feel any side affects and am looking forward to my goal of 75kg i only have 20kg left to go. i praise this drug with out it i would never have lost this much weight i can now run and play with my 4 kids again so happy!
Hi well done this is fantastic,I really need someone to talk to regarding duromine I’m battling so much I’ve only lost 3kgs in 3 weeks and I don’t eat like I normally did I eat healthy like fruit ect do you follow a diet or a meal plan please could you help thanx so much and keep it up
Duromine shows up in urine tests as amphetimines and you may lose any job prospects where you may require to do one.
I have been on Duromine for 7 weeks and have lost 22 kilo’s, as well as taking Duromine I drink as much water as I can, I walk 15 min in the morning and 45 min at night. Eat small portions of food (breakfast is the most important half bowl of musli). I have lot’s of energy and have had no side effects. I will stay on Duromine until I lose another 15 kilo’s. Highly recommend.
Ladies it really works I lost 20kgs in 8 months
Does duramine contains stemetal ? as i am elergig to it
Today is my first day! My goal is to loose 10 kg.. My doctor did advise me that a balance diet and some exercise would show best results! Also he did say i would have to drink lots and lots of water… 1 glass every hour.. 20 glass a day at least.. this would also help to avoid constipation and other side effects! Eating a balance meal with a little carbohydrate(1 meal) is ideal as our body would require the energy! Having 3 meals is a must (balance diet). Eat as much fruits and green vegetables is fine (eg spinach). He also did advise me feeling weird for the first 5 days is normal as our body is adapting to the pill. Good luck to us!!
Day 10 on duramine and Ive lost 5kgs
Not eating much, having to force myself to eat and after 4 days the weird feeling went away. Had to go to doctors today with a sore chest but they are confident it has nothing to do with the duramine 
hoping to lose around another 10kgs by months end 
4th day on duromine and I feel fine!!!
Eating is fine just not as much!
I’d like to see how much I would have lost by the end of the 4 weeks.
