Sorry
Sorry abt that. Wat I meant was, wen u skip a day do u not have cravings? N also does skippin a day help wit the side effects wen u DO take D
I didn't get side effects till I took 30mg 2 days in a row, and on the 3rd day (taking it 3 days in a row) I was really sick. If I take it every second day I don't get side effects.
I have a few 15mg tabs left and on a couple days that were meant to be my 'no duromine days' I've woken up hungry so I've taken a 15mg - it killed the hunger and no side effects. But I think I'm better off skipping days because it's good to actually feel hungry, recognise that feeling and eat something to get rid of it and nourish yourself. The whole idea of being on Duromine is to establish eating habits, not to starve to lose weight.
I've never had cravings for anything, even when I was pregnant, but I do get hungry and on the days I skip Duromine I get hungry mid to late afternoon so I make sure I have something decent planned for tea that night, that helps me hold out till tea time.
When I took 30mg I didn't eat for 3 days, and even with skipping days it is easy to forget to eat and I admit I've not eaten at all some days, but that is really stupid.
