Hi, Iām new to Duromine (since yesterday) and this forum. Iām 55, and have gained 15kg in the past 3 years. Iāve always yo-yoād a bit between 68-73kg (Iām 166cm) but since hitting menopause last year the weight has just STUCK. I went on a very restrictive high protein, low carb, no sugar diet earlier this year and would literally cry from hunger. I hated it so much! Was relieved to let it go when Covid came, and decided sadly to just accept my heavier body.
Then someone told me about Duromine and I decided to talk to my GP about it. The conversation went like this:
Me: āIām menopausal and Iāve literally outgrown my knickers. What do you think about Duromine?ā
GP, looking at my weight gain graph: āYep itās super effective. Have 5 repeats!ā
I started yesterday right after the appointment and I think I took it too late (11am) because my sleep last night was awful. BUT I had no urge to snack at all, and had a beautiful small-portion dinner. I did drink champagne and then read somewhere that I shouldnāt drink at all on Duromine. Also Iām a very occasional smoker, and last night all I wanted to do was smoke! Weird.
Anyway, for the first time I feel real hope that I can shift this weight and fit into my beautiful wardrobe again! And my knickers!
