Duramine

stophiding

I have taken duramine 4 years ago and lost 18kgs to get to my then goal of under 75kgs. I also restricted calories and ate super healthy making good choices, exercising daily. I never thought I’d feel like that again it was as if I was a new person. I am an emotional eater so am aware of addressing it! Slowly I put on 11 kgs and felt fat again. So I’ve restarted duramine to give me the kick along to stay true on my path. I’ve lost 6 kgs and only have 5 to go until goal weight. I still look and feel frumpy. So am determined to get the last 5 kgs off and keep it off. Not an easy task as I’m 59 but pluses are I’m in a very active job so it helps. I’ve found over the last 12 months I can’t stand processed food. The crap in it, how I feel afterwards as opposed to eating natural foods. I’ve kinda nailed it to what works for my body. Hating flabby skin on my arms as I’ve got an injury. Was doing Pilates which toned me up so well, can no longer do it due to arm injury. Love walking my dog, a little gym/cardio/resistant bands. I am hoping there may be others who’ve had positive journeys using duramine. It’s definitely hard with lack of sleep, mood swings when I go off it. However the mental clarity it gives plus focus and determination is exactly what I know I need. Essay over lol

You may have had a positive journey on Duromine* (phentermine), but there is a reason that that drug is classified as a controlled substance in many countries. Internationally, phentermine is a schedule IV drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances. It was part of the drug combo fen-phen and is definitely not something that should just be causally suggested to anyone for weight loss.

Are you in NZ? How many times have you gone back on it? Is this how you're skirting the recommendation to not stay on it longer than 3 months?

I didn't internalize healthy eating habits when my appetite was artificially suppressed by taking a legal amphetamine-like drug and I gained all the weight back when I stopped taking it.

It’s interesting that the phentermine (Duramine ) worked for you as well as it worked for me. It was a real eye opener when it took away my all-encompassing continual hunger. I realized that my weight problem was a brain chemistry problem that made me hungry all the time rather than a moral failure.

I took phentermine and found it helpful too however, this go around, it caused major depression once I stopped. So I'm back to trying this on my own.

It's pretty much legally prescribed meth. Yeah...people on meth typically lose weight amongst other things.

Lest anyone think comparing Phentermine to meth is hyperbolic:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phentermine

...Phentermine is a substituted amphetamine which has a methyl group on amphetamine's alpha carbon.[8] It is a positional isomer of methamphetamine and other methylamphetamines.
