Duramine - failed experiment.

Well. After reading some more blogs about this drug, I've decided not to continue. It's only been 3 days, so I should be ok to just stop. My body hasn't adjusted to them and I don't like the feeling. It's too close to how I felt when taking those anti-depressants.I feel like someone has my head in a vice. I have no energy and just feel lousy.

Every other person who tried them and felt lousy ended up with massive depression. I would rather be fat!

So, if you are actually reading this, stay off them. I gave it shot, but I wouldn't recommend them.

Day 3

It's close to the end of day three and I'm feeling pretty lousy. I've had massive twitches all day around the eyes and my ears are playing up.  I'm constantly feeling like I've got something sitting just above my stomach and I'm hungry.  I'm also feeling a little down, but I think that's because I feel overtired. Got a bit teary today when the boss told me that I talk too much. :s

On the up side, I haven't had any hay fever symptoms and I've not been suffering from massive stomach issues. I seem to have less wind and am not sitting on the toilet all day.

The scales aren't showing any changes, but then again, I haven't done any exercise or changed my eating habits.

Last night I didn't sleep the best - kept waking up from around 3am. Really annoying. It seemed like my brain wanted to wake up, but my body didn't want t move. Hope it's not going to happen for too long.

Time will tell.

Day 2 Weight loss drugs

Half way through day 2 and feeling fine. Can't figure out what all the fuss was about. From what I can gather, it doesn't build up in the body and other than possibly developing a psychological need for it, it's not addictive.

Still got the same feelings as if I had taken nurofen plus or Panadeine. Slight headache, a bit of eye fuzzyness and dryness in the mouth. I'm also occasionally getting a feeling a little like tingling all over. Like a massive feeling of happiness. It's not distracting, a little weird, but not something I'd get used to.

Because of my ankle, I can't run like I wanted to on the machine. So, I'm going to use the bike and rowing machine. If I spend half an hour jumping between the 2, I should then at least have some exercise.

Weighed myself last night and I was at 92kg. I put this down to fluid retention.  Normally in the morning immediately after a shower, I am 90kg - which was the amount this morning.  Will not weigh myself when I get home - will now wait until the weekend.

Duramine day 1

Today is the first day of my trial of Duramine.(Metermine) I took it at 6.45 this morning and now at 8.25 all I feel is hungry. Not feeling much different otherwise.

Well... maybe a little buzzed. But no.more than of I had taken a nurofen plus. :)

It's the end of the day and other than feeling a little "burpy" like I've just taken a capsule tablet, I feel pretty normal. I'm as tired as I would normally be, my back aches as usual and my feet ache as usual.

The only thing different, is I don't have a headache. Normally at this time of the day, I'd have a headache - especially after a red bull (which I had earlier), but nothing. :D I'm pretty happy about that.  Oh, I also seem to have noticeable ringing in my ears. It's only noticable when I'm in a quiet room, but it's louder than usual. This seems to be in the list of side effects.
