Duromine and me

Yesterday was my first day on duromine 30mg.
I'm 27yo/f/65kg/155cm.
I knew how to convince my GP into prescribing it as all family members are over weight and I was getting there. I was 70kg a year ago and lost 10kg on Diabex for pcos.
I had the script for Duromine in my bag for 5 months prior to finally pursuing my weight loss dream.
Wondering about side effects of Duromine. Both my sisters are on it and lost heaps but experience insomnia headaches and mood swings. I on the otherhand felt so calm and relaxed on it like I'd just popped some valium or xanax or even codeine. I was yawning all day. But it did what it was meant to and that was curb my thoughts from my addiction.. food.

I'm actually worried I will become anorexic because I have traits that obsess about things and I sometimes go upto four days without food which helps me lose some weight and allows my stomach to shrink a bit. But since I've been happy I've been eating.

Anyone else with similar stories?

Some people think that diet pills are a kind of cheating but if you lack motivation for regular exercising or just can't stop eating it's reasonable to overlook stereotypes. When you buy duromine online or in local drug store and feel the effect, you just forget of "it's not fair" and other nonsense

One of my friends persuaded me to buy duromine online and after I started to take it, I totally quit raiding the fridge for no reason like I used to all my life before. I decided to take small doses and lose weight steadily, this will be better for health I think

I've lost 30 llbs in 2+ months just by changing my normal diet to a healthy diet. I use Dr. Joel Fuhrman's advice as to what is a healthy diet. I don't have heart problems, and I've researched Duromine 30 mg's. I have reversed my Diabetes Type 2, lowered my blood pressure, am lowering my bad cholesterol and raising my good cholesterol, all through diet.  I have a really bad back, so the above weight loss was without any strenuous exercise.  I personally am very worried about the potential side effects from this drug. As I've said, I lost 32% of the weight loss that I am targeting in just over 2 months, with no exercise. It's fast, it's safe, and I have no guilt (children losing their mother due to side effects of a drug). I DO wish you the very best taking this drug, but, I just thought I'd let you know that without Duromine you can reverse disease and weight loss can be quick, effective and long lasting without ANY negative side effects.  At this rate, I will have lost 100 llbs by the new year, and that's quick enough, and healthy enough for me. I use myfitnesspal to help me calculate my nutritional values (vitamins etc.). Maybe you can check it out and it can help you make healthy choices, which is what proper dieting is all about, proper nutrition.

Yeah barb it's immediate. Peak plasma is between one and six hours and has a half life of 16 hours.

I love it. Today I didn't eat anything. Its 6.35pm and I've had 1200.ml of water and chewing gum.
I'm happy to be on it the rest of my life cos normally I can't stop eating.
My .bf is forcing me to eat.

Wow, it works that fast to curb thoughts of food?  

Wonder what will happen when you and your sisters go off it....  can't help but think the weight will come back, unless you incorporate healthy eating and exercise into your daily routine.
