Taking phentermine helps suppress your appetite, thereby limiting how many calories you eat.
Over time, this can lead to weight loss. While the exact mechanisms behind the appetite-reducing effects of phentermine remain unclear, the drug is thought to act by increasing neurotransmitter levels in your brain 6 , 7.
However, you may build a tolerance to the appetite-suppressing effects of phentermine within a few weeks. In that case, you should not increase your dose of the drug but stop using it altogether. Phentermine is thought to decrease your appetite by increasing neurotransmitter levels in your brain.
This equates to a weight loss of 10—20 pounds 4. In a meta-analysis of six studies, people who took the average dose of While phentermine has been shown to be effective for weight loss , it may work better when combined with topiramate Topiramate is a drug that has been used on its own to treat seizures but — like phentermine — also has appetite-reducing properties 11 , 12 , In users, this weight loss has translated to a significant decrease in waist circumference, improved insulin sensitivity , and blood sugar control, as well as favorable effects on triglyceride and cholesterol levels 16 , Studies confirm the effectiveness of phentermine for weight loss.
The combination of phentermine and topiramate may help reduce binge eating in people with binge eating disorder BED and bulimia nervosa.
BED is characterized by eating large amounts of food, often quickly and to the point of discomfort. Bulimia nervosa involves the same binge-eating behavior as with BED, but includes behaviors, such as self-induced vomiting, in an attempt to compensate for the effects of binge eating In a small week study in obese or overweight people with BED, the phentermine and topiramate drug combination was associated with significant reductions in weight, BMI, and binge-eating episode frequency In another week study, people with BED or bulimia nervosa were randomized to receive the drug combination or a placebo.
The same results were not observed in the placebo group The phentermine and topiramate combination has been shown to reduce binging episodes and weight in people with BED and bulimia nervosa.
You should have a consultation with your doctor to check whether you are a suitable candidate for Duromine use. If not, you might ask about alternative weight loss meds. In addition your doc can advise you on dieting and exercising. Either way, you will not be able to buy Duromine without a prescription in your local pharmacy.
I was recently diagnosed with underactive thyroid. Before that I was planning to try Duromine to lose some weight that I gained over the last 5 years. Now, I am not sure if Duromine will be effective for me. What do you think? Underactive thyroid is a serious health condition, which may make weight loss very difficult and slow.
But you should not despair and keep fighting. For better results, first talk to your doctor and see what he tells you about the reasonability of using Duromine or alternative pills.
But it does. I feel a lot more energetic and my mood Is fantastic all the time. Side effects I have are cotton mouth, which makes me drink more water. Hope this helps anyone! Day 2 on Duromine and headache is killing me. Can I take Panadol or anything else to get rid of it. Unfortunately, Susanne, Duromine has a long list of drug interactions and before you take any other medication while using Duromine, you need to discuss this with your doctor or a qualified pharmacist.
Headaches usually subside within the first week of Duromine use. I used Duromine like 5 years ago and managed to lose 15 kilos in 3 months back then. Now, after a long depression treatment I am 30 kg heavier, and want to use it again. What do I need to do to get Duromine? To get Duromine, you need to go to your doctor and explain your situation. Of course, you can mention your previous weight loss experience with Duromine. If all your health checks are adequate and your weight is within the range required for Duromine use, your doc will issue a prescription for Duromine.
Ask him where you can buy it in your city. Can I take Duromine while breastfeeding? Can it harm my child anyhow? Duromine is not recommended during breastfeeding. Either you stop breastfeeding and use Duromine, or you wait for the time when you end breastfeeding, and then take Duromine. Duromine is a strong medication.
If it gets into your milk, it can cause adverse reactions in your child. Do not risk! Any difference in effects? May be better take it on an empty stomach before breakfast? Neena, hello. You can take Duromine regardless of food. It depends on personal preferences and tolerance. Some people prefer taking it with food, others, on an empty stomach or after breakfast.
Taking Duromine later in the morning is not advised. These pills are a true wonder for me! I just love the all the good effects I get form Duromine, and they helped me lose over 13 kg in 3 months. I was always active, so normally exercise 3 times a week. With all the energy I got with Duromine had to increase the amount of trainings to 5 times a week and evening walks.
It also helped me cut the portion size, which was probably the most important cause of my weight loss. No more cravings for chocolates at 10 PM and more fast food for lunch. ZERO junk cravings.
Will do my best to maintain the weight, but if I ever gain it back, will surely rely on Duromine again. Congratulations on your wonderful Duromine experience! Well done with the physical activity. Wish you to maintain your weight! Currently on a Duromine 30 mg course. Week one showed the greatest loss of 2. The second month again started with a big loss of 3 kilos in a week, but I added strength exercises then, and this last fourth week, the loss was only 0. I am not giving up, nor feeling down.
The overall result is great. I feel great, I look great, just 5 kilos away from my goal weight. Fingers crossed I lose them during the third month.
Good luck to newcomers! Sounds like everything is going very well for you on Duromine. It is a normal thing to see lower weight loss rate as your Duromine course continues. First, your body gets used to Duromine. Secondly, your body gets use to the changes in your nutrition and trainings.
Thirdly, as we get closer to our perfect weight, our body finds it hard to part with kilos. In addition, if you exercise a lot, you might be losing fat while gaining muscles, so seeing a smaller loss is ok. Measure your achievements with a measuring tape, and you might notice great difference in volumes without seeing it in kilograms.
Felt like a blind kitten — no idea what to eat, what to do, so I ate almost nothing, and had to stop using the pills before the end of the course. Side effects were bad. Now i know that i need to eat well, and properly. Wish me luck. Anyone here? Planning on taking Duromine 30mg for 3 months.
Have a couple of parties planned during this period. And the question is: can I have any alcohol while on Duromine? Does anyone know? Who boozed while on D? Any side effects? Maybe not take it on party days? It is not recommended to consume alcohol with Duromine. Be careful. My experience with drinking alcohol while on D is horrible. It was not just a hangover, I thought i will throw out my brain. I did not drink a drop of alcohol until finishing the course.
Btw, I lost 18 kgs, and i was on 15 mg first, and two months on 30 mg. Lots of energy, some insomnia and headaches at start, but then ok. If you get a dry mouth, my advice is to chew sugar free gum and never part with your bottle of water. My story with duromine started very well. Then i started feeling that something was not right. I could burst in tears all of a sudden and in 15 minutes be laughing like mad.
I realized it was duromine causing these mood swings and a quick search on the internet showed that it was one of possible side effects. Still have half a pack of Duromine left and planning to try it again and see what happens. I see that many people report a very fast weight loss on Duromine. I was not losing it so fast and i wonder why. My weight was when i started, and in 3 months i reached I think that people lose a lot more when their weight is so high.
I have been eating very healthy, mostly 3 meals a day, no sugars and fats in the evening. Exercise wise, everyday 2 hour walks with my dogs and got a gym membership 2 months ago, so not extremely active. My doc suggested i try it and was checking up on me regularly to see if i was okay. I was literally flying around the house and doing things here and there.
Guest over a year ago hi im on duromine 15mg,just wanting to know how long it takes to work? Guest over a year ago Ok so I'm glad that all these people are interested in being healthy about losing weight but I really don't care anymore.
I need to lose 20lbs soon and I've been eating only apples and apple sauce and taking plenty of laxatives, along with lipo6 diet pills I can't take it anymore, I'm about to flip! Guest over a year ago it works and its awsome. Guest over a year ago I have been using duromine for 2 months and think it's great.
I moved in with my boyfriend at the end of the year in 08 and put on about 11 kg in 3 months. He always wanted to go out for breaky, lunch, dinner, have desert, carbs etc etc and I got very used to eating this way as well. He's naturally thin and didn't put the weight on, But i did. I almost was addicted to food. I thought about what I was going to eat next pretty much all the time.
I couldn't say no to anything and always felt hungry. So went from 61 to 72 kg in 3 months. We live at the beach and I was so depressed all the time and did not want to go out, or wear bathers, or even a sleeveless top.
My doctor put me on duromine and the weight pretty much fell off. I lost about 5kg in the first 2 weeks, then started only taking duromine on week days, skipping weekends so I could sleep longer and give my body a break. By the end of the first month I had lost kg. I make an effort to still each 3 meals even if they are small ,each day to keep my metabolism up and to get the vitamins i need, but now when i eat, i think of it as fuel for my body.
Because I have lost my appetite and cravings, when I eat I prepare my self great salads, and vege dishes and snack on raw vegetables, fruit, olives etc I haven't touched fast food in 2 months, and have NO cravings for it or any greasy food for that matter.
Mind you I still like a bit of chocolate now and then I went off duromine for 2 weeks over xmas as i went on a cruise with my family.
I did't put any weight back on. I was eating lots as it was all inclusive but Duromine has really changed my eating habbits and put my on th right track. I eat much smaller portions and am happy to eat everything in moderation. I got to enjoy eating the christmas food, chocolates and cocktails and just went for a 45 minutes power walk every day.
I will stay on duromine for one more month as I only take one about 3 times a week, and Im really not concerned about putting the weight back on. I really believe duromine is a great first step to weight loss, helping you improve and get used to good eating habbits, as well as give you that motivation to stay healthy after the first initial weight loss.
The downside is that the first day i ever took it I was really racey and lay in bed all night without sleeping.
