| 1 | I took this for two years ,it worked ,i lost 4 stone . Since then i have really been mentally ill. depressed,suicidal and nervous. You may be Ok now but this drug will catch up with you. | This drug will really mess you up in later life. | M | 48 | 600 days | 11/2/2007 | 2 | Weight Loss | I've taken these pills on and off for 15 years. I began taking them at my jerk doctor's advice when I was 21 years old. A short time later I ended up with bulimia. This drug taught me to like hunger pangs. This drug caused mood swings that worsen as I stopped then began taking it, pain and swelling down my left arm, confusion, mild hallucinations (corner of your eye phenomenon), depression, anxiety, and more recently heart palpitations that can last for months. I am not a fan of doctors who so eagerly give these drugs to patients. The weight loss is temporary. The eating disorders are longer lasting and potentially more dangerous to your health. | Beware of diet pills. While tenuate dospan has been around for a long time, the last thing you want to do is become part of a trial for some that have resulted in death (Phen fen, Meridia). | F | 36 | 15 years 75 MG 1X day | 2/14/2014 | 2 | loose weught | dry skin, and nose bleeding,some headaches. | first time ever of using medication to loose weight. i lost 10 lbs. its not worth it for me with this side efects that i have experienced.

Very little appetite. 2nd time: Ran into a problem. | The first time I took this drug, was great! I had energy, but no jitters or felt like my heart was gonna fly outta my chest. Almost no appetite, I had to make myself eat sometimes. and I lost weight. Quit taking them for financial & other reasons. I kept eating healthy and working out 95% of the time; Didn't gain any weight back! The 2nd time I took Tenuate starting in Feb. 2008, has been not so satisfying to my dismay. This time taking it was to help with the energy and to lose the remainder of my weight. I feel like I'm on an emotional rollercoaster! The slightest thing and I'll start crying. I have the worst headache, I thought was due to sinuses but even taking my allergy medicine didnt make a dent in the headache. I just feel sad a lot lately. My mother had to quit taking the tenuate for the same reason. So I tried not taking them for a few days, and after two days of no tenuate I felt better- Not nearly as emotional and especially over the littlest things. Then I decide I' | F | 24 | 2 days | 3/19/2008 | 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 | 3/8/2008 | 3 | weigh loss | depression, tiredness, blurred vision, and headaches in the beginning | it does help curb my apetite. i no longer crave sweets or mt dew. i get full alot easier!!! | F | 28 | 8 days | 12/18/2007 | 3 | To lose weight, curb cravings | tired all the time. | Curbs my sweet cravings, and helps me feel fuller. However, I am tired all the time which makes it difficult to get the energy to do my exercises. I am losing weight very slowly. | 43 | 2 months | 8/4/2006 | 3 | For being overweight | Very lively & full of energy. The tablets also controlled my appetite - at first! With longer use, I found that the tablets weren't working as appetite suppressants, but I carried on taking them because of their incredible feel-good factor. I stopped taking them because I realised the potential addiction. | My doctor prescribed 3 tablets a day, which was impossible for me to tolerate. Just half a tab was enough to stem my appetite and give me energy, but I think they should be re-introduced for weight loss, providing careful examinations are given to patients first. I took this medication during the 80's until they were withdrawn. | F | 51 | 6 days | 7/5/2006 | 3 | weight loss | dry mouth, little depression, dehydrated from lack of water intake, slowly losing weight | i have been taking tenuate for 3mnths now and have lost 6kgs,while it has helped with my eating habits and cravings, it also helps me feel more alive in the early hours of the morning when i start work.On the other hand if sit down too long i start feeling depressed, it doesnt give u an excellrated energy boost and if u dont drink enough water u get server dehydrated symptoms and constipation.The comments i get about my weight loss give me a boost and i have even dropped a dress size,but u know u haven't put the hard effort in to lose the weight and keep it off. | F | 23 | 3 months | 3/26/2006 | 3 | weight loss | itchy skin, thirsty- very dry mouth | helped me feel energetic and i wanted to exercise. dont feel the need to eat food all the time. | F | 19 | 8 days | 10/2/2005 | 3 | to lose weight | at first hard to sleep then it was ok, | I still felt like eating but had more control to say no, for example was able to stop late night eating, I have been taking the drug a year and arent losing any more weight now,i have put back on 5 kilos, i think my body is use to it and now i'm scared to stop taking it even though i dont feel the effects anymore, | F | 36 | 12 months | 4/17/2005 | 4 | To loose weight | It did effect sleep | I have taken Tenuate in the past and found it really worked. I live in Ireland and find it impossible to get delivered to here. If anyone know were I can get it I would be greatful. Thanks | F | 56 | 30 days 75mg 1X O | 3/8/2022 |
