Also, my starting stats:
Height: 5ft5 inches, or 166cmish.
Weight: 7stone 3lbs, or roughly 45.8kg
BMI- somewhere in the 16s, think it's 16.5? Cba to the check
I was 6 stone 13lbs a few days ago but had two days bingeing after being very low restricted for a while, and I want to get back to that weight, as I perceive myself as huge, and I hate it. Probably won't restrict as low this time around to prevent another binge but I want fast weight loss, I'm inpatient, hence the Duromine

That is where I got it from if anyone is interested. Yesterday I felt pretty energetic, I felt hungry at midday but when I tried to eat just totally lost interest. Food just isn't that appealing on Duromine and it was easy to stay focused on other things. I made some candles and earrings as Christmas presents for my mum and sister.
I stuck to 300 calories that day (2 cups of tea with soy milk, a teaspoon of pumpkin seeds, 6 cashews, a couple of tbsp of pasta I made the day before salad with a tsp hoummus)
Sleep wasn't a problem but then again I had a phat spliff at 10pm to help me nod off, so I don't know how I'd cope without it.
I've just taken my capsule for today, didn't empty any out this time, as I have uni. I go to circus school to train as a circus performer so I really need to have energy as the training is intense, I don't usually restrict too low on 5 hour training days but I only have one super strenuous class today (handstands) and then 3 hours of clown which is pretty chill.
Will let you know how today goes

 

Been a few days since I updated. So far I've lost two and a half pounds in 5 days. I guess that's good, especially as I got my period the night before last.
I've been eating between 100-900 calories per day, and I do exercise a lot (3-5 hours of circus 5 days a week). I was nervous about the side effects but so far it's been fine! Definitely decreased appetite, food is just not as interesting, you sort of feel hungry sometimes but nothing really is appealing and it's hard to finish food. Very expensive product but does what it says on the tin. It's worth noting that my plan for pill cycling changed a little, this week I've taken Duromine one day, and modafinil the other day and keep switching around

 

I'm really interested in this, however I live in the US and a bit too impatient to wait months for this to come maybe I'll save up overtime and ultimately order it in case I don't lose weight in the coming months

I'm back down to 6stone 13lbs (97lbs). I now only take Duromine 2 or 3x a week because a) it's hella expensive b) if you take it any later than 7am it's SO fucking hard to sleep, sometimes I wake up at 8:30am c) the randon blurry vision 6 hours after ingestion and heart palpitations can be an issue. Definitely does what it says on the tin though

I'm sure it won't take as long to reach the US from Australia, especially as I ordered it during the first lockdown, but there are other options. I think I sort of prefer modafinil for price and regular use, and hoodia gordonii- doesn't increase energy but it's got no side effects and makes food just seem so uninteresting

 

Hey!

I'm an experienced Duromine abuser and if you're using the capsules they're extended release and you shouldnt ever break the capsule open because that is what makes it extended release therefore lasting all day, breaking it open you might find it hits you too hard and wears off too early, plus the dose isn't really consistent or controlled. I find it kicks fully after a few days taking it consistently. Make sure you drink a lot of water because it dehydrated you and you get constipated. Try make sure you're still eating enough even though it's hard to on it - the first round I had I way under ate and had a huge binge 2 month binge phase and gained it all back plus more when I stopped taking it x

Hi all!

I started duromine 30mg today! I'm so bewildered on how this pill has completely removed any and all food thoughts and cravings

And so much focus and energy! Working out has never felt better There was a couple of times during the day when my heart rate was 90-100bpm sitting still; although it's not as bad as clen, thankfully. It was so tempting to skip food today but I don't want to trigger extreme hunger & cravings once I stop taking the drug, so I'm sticking to 900-1000cals per day.

It's nearly 7pm and my heart rate's still in the 80's, makes me worried that I won't be able to sleep tonight lol

Hey!

I was on 40mg for 3 months a year or so ago and by the end of it my resting heart rate was like 84 but I was on way too much for the size I was. I'm on 15mg atm and it feels a lot better. Been 5 weeks on it and resting is 66 - usually 58ish not on it so not too much of a difference. 6kg down since starting averaging 1200 in/2600 out.
If you're put off by the heart rate it gives you I recommend trying 15mg if you can get it. I'm not losing any slower than I was on 40, appetite suppression is the same amount I just don't feel wired as hell 24/7 or quite as mood-swingy and irritable but still more than I would be off it. I'm like 100% sure people at work would have known I was on something haha

I find I can stay awake all night if I am on my phone or watching tv etc. I just go to bed at 11pm, lights off and doesn't take me long to get to sleep, you just gotta not stimulate yourself and you'll be fine. When I was on 40mg I was averaging like 3 hours a night tho. I take mine at 630am. The earlier the better.

Takes a few days to settle into it before it feels normal in your system but if you're on the right dose and use it properly it's really effective.

Make sure you stay hydrated! Not really recommended to drink alcohol on it too - I can have one drink and feel like I've had 6 and it amplifies the speediness of the duro like x 10

Stay safe!

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely take it earlier and find the 15mg, sucks that mine came in a capsule.

I hear that the euphoria eventually disappears, is that true? But I hope the energy & mood boost stays!

I'm extremely worried about what will happen after I stop taking it, can you share what it was like when you stopped after 3months?

The capsules are good tho don't open them to split the dose or anything cause the capsule is made in a way that makes the phentermine slow release.

The energy stays, but after a few weeks it can get to be a like a speedy irritable energy. Still mildly euphoric tho for the most part. I talk A LOT on Duromine haha. After a while on it I can get kinda dopey like forget what I'm talking about half way through a conversation and get tongue tied a lot but probably from the fast talking haha you notice tho and then make an effort to be not so full on if people don't know you're taking it.

If you make sure you're eating enough you should be fine when you come off. When I was on it for 3 months I barely ate anything and stopped abruptly cause I ran out and the dealer I was getting it from wasn't getting back to me. I gained a lot of weight - more than the weight I had maintained for 2 years before I started taking it but it's because I restricted to like 500/day and way over exercised. I lost way too quick too, my skin was like deflated on me and I looked awful!

Best way to come off it I've learnt now is to firstly make sure while you're taking it you just keep restricting to what you would aim for anyway or slightly lower nothing too low. If you keep it above 1000 you should be ok. I have the odd day where I have like 750 but I try stay around 1100. Set up a good eating routine while you're on it, so it becomes habit to keep eating like that when you come off it. When you have like 10 capsules left start taking it every second day for a week, then every third and then by the time you finish them you barely feel any effects anymore.

I always get scared to come off of it. I get worried I won't be able to lose again without them and get scared I'll gain it back cause I'm scarred from the first time lol

But if your BMI is any less than 27 I recommend only 15mg if it's something you can get easily enough. I was 18.5 BMI on 40mg and I felt 100% methed up the whole time. You can always use your 30mg caps right in the middle of your cycle to peak it and then go back to 15mg when you're coming off it - doctors usually increase dose at the middle then decrease again at the end of the cycle but if you're on too much of a high dose you will start to feel really wired and speedy and restless after a week or so. It should be slightly buzzy and I guess pepped up and you should be able to feel it but still feel comfortable enough that it's only lingering in the background and not like all you can feel all day x

Hey! It's day 17 for me and I've lost around 2kgs! I thought I would've lost more to be honest, (I average on 1000cals/day) but I shouldn't complain xD
My body got used to the drug I think --I stopped feeling wired on day 2 and all of the extra energy by day 10 (back to napping lol), cotton mouth isn't too bad now but I'm experiencing phantom cravings?? Physically not hungry but I guess food thoughts are seeping back into my head? Getting more anxious about coming off of the drug..

In your experience, did the higher dosage just give you more energy? If that's the only difference then I'll likely just buy the 15mg. I'm just afraid that it won't be as effective as I develop drug tolerance pretty quickly; (I have to take triple dosage of OTC painkillers for period cramps). Increased anxiety is def not fun lol.

Side note: I feel like I'm getting robbed --I'm paying $200 for 30caps lol. I guess it can't be helped (I live in SE Asia and my duromine is imported from NZ)

How are you doing btw? Are you still taking it? I'd love to hear your progress <3

Hey!

2kg isn't bad at all don't be upset about it! Sometimes I won't lose much over 2 weeks and other times I will lose more. I was 52.75kg when I started taking it again and haven't weighed today cause I had a big dinner with my friend last night but yesterday I was 46.55kg so that's 6.2kg and according to my scales 5.1% body fat.
I have 3kg to go before I hit my old LW so I'm pretty confident I'll get there before I run out. I still have one more month worth of pills and another script I bought off someone with 2 repeats on it (so basically another 3 month supply after this last box) but I'm gonna hoard them for next time I think, or for when I'm feeling a binge cycle coming on.

The main difference I feel on 15mg is that I don't feel like I'm on hard drugs all day. Not that I have an issue with being on drugs lol but not the ideal when you work a corporate job and have to hide the chattiness and wiredness.
The appetite suppression isn't too much different. I think 40 reduced it more but I was barely eating so when I came off it my body was fucking starving and I ate everything until I gained it all back. I'm not so worried with 15mg because I've been eating 1200ish most days. The occasional 700-800 day and the occasional 1600 day to mix it up.

My plan when coming off it is to settle into a strict eating plan, just below maintenance maybe 2-300 deficit at most while I take the last of it. Hopefully my body will start getting what it needs before I come off it and can't fight the urges. I'm also going to take 1 every other day for the last week or so, so I'm not stopping it abruptly. If you are organised with it you shouldn't have any issues. Last time it was just because I unexpectedly ran out and had no plan in place whatsoever.

I'm not sure about tolerance but I don't think I've built tolerance to it at this stage. I felt like the appetite suppression was wearing off on the 40mg after 6 weeks or so but I think my body was just taking over because I was under eating so much.
8 weeks on 15mg and I'm still going strong with no binge urges. There has been a few nights last week that I couldn't even stomach the idea of dinner and just ate some crackers instead to get rid of the physical hunger feeling. Or days where I will just eat lunch at 3pm then won't feel an urge to eat for the rest of the day. Definitely will need to be in a good food routine when coming off because it's hard to go from that to having your hunger signals back in full swing while not knowing what/when to eat. I plan to be eating every 3 hours and lots of protein when I'm coming off it and for a good few weeks after.

I do get the phantom cravings too. I'll think I feel like something and think over it for a bit before I'm like hmm nah I don't actually want it. Or even worse, but something, get home, give it to someone else cause you changed your mind and don't feel like it anymore haha

I do feel like certain cravings start to build up over a few days tho, like I've been having cravings come and go for sweet potato chips a few times the last week so I decided to get some with my dinner last night and fit it in my intake to keep it at bay before it turns into an actual binge urge that I can't control if I deny it too much longer.

Honestly on 15mg I think the appetite suppression is the same. If it stops working they recommend coming off the drug altogether rather than increasing dosage as it supposedly makes no difference appetite wise, think it's more that how big your body is determines how much of the drug is needed. Because even 15mg isn't prescribed to anyone below BMI 27 I wouldn't recommend any higher unless you're at a higher weight and your body is built to handle that much.

I've dropped my weight chart below for the last month or so. The drops aren't always drastic so don't be disappointed by 2kg that's plenty in 2 weeks.

And lastly yeah the cost is an absolute bitch. Even with a prescription it's $110AUD. If you have to buy it through dealers it can be like $400 a box but they never have 15mg. I just try to think of the money I save on food by being on it! If you know anyone who is overweight and wouldn't be offended by you asking, see if they will get a script for you and pay them for the dr appt and some for their time.
Depending where you are and what the rules are, I got prescribed it on a Telehealth Doctor app video call. I put my big boofy dressing gown on to make myself look fatter and told her I was 77kg (lol) and was already on it and couldn't get to my primary doctor before I run out and she was happy to give it to me.

If you have any more questions let me know! Happy to help

Holy smokes you are so helpful! <3

The img/link to your chart is broken, but I'm glad you're reaching your goal! This was totally worth it

Although I wish I wasn't this constipated. I naturally lean towards constipation but I think the drug made it worse haha

I actually found 15mg but it costs more than the 30mg LOL. I think I'll stick with the 30. There are so many fake phentermine pills in the marketplace, it's probably safer to pony up. Have you tried similar drugs or different brands like fenfast, adipex, panbesy, metermine, etc?

Oh damn annoying that you can't see the pic it looks normal on my screen I'm in Tapatalk so that's probably why!

If you're constipated are you drinking enough water? Duro makes you really dehydrated. If you can get more fibre too that'll help. I usually go every 2-3 days so not regular but I don't have any pain or anything with it I just don't feel like I have to haha

Nah I haven't tried anything else with phentermine! I've only gotten legitimate inova brand Duromine caps from the pharmacy with a prescription. They say the metermene generic is the same but I'd rather pay the extra $5 for the brand name cause I wouldn't trust that it works as good haha think apidex is tablets rather than extended release capsules so they wouldn't last as long I would imagine. They don't sell any other brands of phentermine in Australia other than Duromine or metermine so haven't really looked into anything else!

All else I've really done before for appetite is ECA stacks and dexies and prefer Duromine over both. Love dexies but more for a night out than taking every day to not get hungry haha and ECA stacks do basically nothing in comparison to duro and ephedrine is impossible to get here now anyways

I recommend monitoring your heart rate and blood pressure while taking it if you can. I know it doesn't feel like much but certain situations can spike it. Like if I have a drink or 2 I'll feel super drunk and wired and my heat will race and I sweat more. Sometimes I'll just sit on the couch and it'll beat really hard and fast out of nowhere like mild palpitations I guess. Over time my heart rate gradually goes up too. Currently resting is 70 - usually about 58 when I'm not on anything. I haven't had any actual heart problems from it but I know it's not really made for people who don't have enough body weight to handle it and I think there is more risk in it so I check mine regularly just in case

Hey that site you shared states it's a UK site and they don't ship to AUS or NZ?
