 3  Weight loss left arm feels a little achy,have trouble with word retieval,A little depressed. I took this medicine back in the 70's. I was 40 pounds overwieght and a teenager. I lost 30 pounds on this medication and whenever I would try to go off, and the weight would return. I switched to Ionamin 2 years later and have been on it ever since. Yes, 37 years, except for the 3 times I was pregnant. I loved Ionamin AND THEY TOOK IT OFF THE MARKET.Now I'm on tenuate and it,s too strong. I have no energy, but it's better than phentermine. That stuff made me crazy.I'm trying to slowly wean myself off of them completely and it's very hard. I'm afraid of a heart attack or congestive heart failure from taking it for so long.My father died at 65 from stroke and diabetes. He was on diet pills from his teens also.I have diabetes and obesity on both sides of my family. The bad thing about going off slowly is the water wieght gain. 51 38 days

 5  Weight loss None at first, but later got headaches I have taken tenuate on an off for several years. i had no side effects for years and weight just fell off steadily, but the last time I started back on it, I experienced headaches. I still feel like tenuate is the easiest, quickest way to lose weight, but the weight will return once you stop taking it if you aren't careful about what you eat. I wish I knew long term effects of this drug as I go on and off of it periodically. F 50 8 years
Don't rem 1X day

 5  Weight loss dry mouth, depression for first day, weak at first I have found tenuate dospan to be a great help in a jumpstart to my weight loss. I gained 20 lbs in the past two years and I just could not cut the weight. Without working out and being on the pill for two weeks, I have lost 10 lbs. I do not get hungry until around 5 pm everyday and when I do eat I get full a lot quicker. This pill is great to start a diet and get used to eating less and then start working out after side effects fade and body gets used to the pill. F 21 14 days

 5  Weight Loss Little dry throat and mouth an hr after taking the pill. Somewhat of a "comedown" around 5 in the afternoon. This is working great for me. I am 5'7' 140 lbs, I have been taking it for a week and have lost 4 lbs already. I have anxiety problems but the medicine doesn't make it worse. I feel normal except more awake and much less hungry. I drink a lot of water with it and I think it helps. No racing heart or heavy breathing, but I would reccommend the 25mg 3 times a day rather than the 75mg in the morning. I get hungry around 5. If you have had any addiction to amphetemines in the past do not take this!!! I can see that is very addicting already. F 22 30 days

 5  weight loss dry mouth, a little foggy sometimes. I took this drug for about 2 years lost over 60 lbs. I loved it, i have never had such control over my eating, it made me think about what i was going to eat, i wasnt compulsive about it, the normal fatty foods grossed me out. I want to get on it again, just had a baby 8 months ago and gained it all back. dr prescribed welbutrin but from what ive been reading it sounds horrible, i havent taken it yet, i think i'll go back and ask for this again. F 42 2 years

 5  to lose weight some dry mouth I have lost 16 pounds in 20 days which may seem a little fast, but I'm sure it will slow down. I was eating a lot before. I'm 5'6" and started at 200 pounds...I'm now down to 184 and people are starting to comment, which is extremely motivating. I eat tiny meals and I don't even have much desire for them. Sometimes feels like I can quench thirst though. Small price to pay for fabulous weight loss. F 36 20 days

 5  Weight Loss Not sleeping, heaving, tongue like a feather duster! Less hunger pains, spooky feeling, wided eyed, dreaming... I really don't care about the side effects as this works and after a week I can already feel a difference. Don't want to weigh myself till after a month being on the tablets, then its a nice surprise. Done these before and the after results were amazing. Keep it up and good luck everyone. F 41 6 days

 5  Weight Loss dry mouth that went away in a week its the only thing that has helped my appetite that is out of control since birth, I was hungry all the time, I tried Adipex (sp) and it was awful, I had headaches and felt terrible, tenuate is the way to go, the Generic doesn't work for me at all F 45 2 years

 5  Obesity Dry mouth, but it encouraged me to drink more water. I lost a total of 107 pounds in 13 months, I loved the medicine, my husband also took and several of my friends, all with amazing results. We all ate much healthier and excercised, I had so much more energy without feeling jittery and NO NEED FOR SWEETS!!!! I never had a craving for sweets but kept the fridge full of fresh fruits. This medicine is great, HOWEVER, there is a very high risk of addiction and I have been off of the medication for 4 months now and have gained back 25 pounds, you have to keep the lifestyle change after the medication is stopped. I was also wondering if anybody else that has taken this medication has developed any stomach problems. F 31 13 days

 5  weight loss dry mouth & extreme thirst at first I have been taking Tenuate for 4 weeks and have lost 28 lbs without much effort at all. Only 22lbs left to go before I reach my goal!!!I have just now this week started walking for exercise, so hopefully that will increase my results. It REALLY controls my appetite. I am taking 25mg 3x's per day. I have tried almost EVERY other OTC and RX med for weight loss out there and this is THE ONE by far. I used it a couple of years ago and it worked well then & kept the weight off until pregnancy. So, I had started it back after baby & I am pleased with my results!! F 31 4 weeks
