Side Effects
Duromine - occasion dry mouth when stressed, gassy

Additional Thoughts
I took duromine for 3 mths, had 1 mth break and now am back on it. The first 3 mths I lost over 15 kgs, gained 3 on the break (my own error) and have now lost 6 kgs after 3 weeks of being back on the pills which is a total weight loss of 18 kgs. I have had weight problems since I hit puberty and this is the only thing besides killing myself with over-exercising that works. The first night I had problems sleeping but only because I read too much about the problems that I may have. The best thing to do is just to tell yourself you don't have sleep problems and close your eyes (this worked for me, but it's a case by case thing). I can manage to eat two pieces of fruit and dinner in a day and weigh myself twice a day as the weight differs morning and night - it's a good guide to know what does and doesn't make you lose weight each day. The first week I stayed off the scales and thought I had gained weight as I didn't know what time of day I am at my lightest.. I feel much more confident, h

insomnia - first 2 days

Additional Thoughts
I took Ionamin on and off for several years. It is incredible. Unfortunately my current doctor will not prescribe it to me. I definitely recommend it to anyone with weight to lose - in combination with reducing your caloric intake and increasing your exercise. This medication increases your energy so you're wanting to do more.

Side Effects
in the beginning, maybe 2-3 wks my sleeping was worse than usual. took a really long time to fall asleep & then woke up about every 2 hrs the rest of the night. Dry mouth & shakiness if taken too much to start until you get used to it.

Additional Thoughts
Really like it. Has helped me loose 42 lbs but after taking it for almost two years, with little breaks of my own choosing - say 1-4 days w/out about every 4-5 wks, I have finally gotten to the point where it is no longer effective. Too bad. I have switched to Tenuate for the next month or so to see if that will work as well but if not then my doc will give me the Ionamin (phentermine) again. I took 1/2 tablet at first (don't recommend the time released capsules as you can not control them as well as the tablets), maybe 6 mos, then 1 full tab, then 1.5. When I had to take 2 to still get any effect my doc & I decided to switch for a bit. I have taken the Tenuate for about 2 weeks and it is, for me, inferior to the Phentermine.
