| 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 | 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 | 2/16/2016 | 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 | 12/9/2007 | 5 | Weight Loss | A slightly dry mouth and talking a bit faster than usual | Very happy with the drug, it has helped me to lose weight over and over again. | F | 33 | 2 years | 1/4/2005 | 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 | 4/14/2007 | 5 | To loose weight. | Increased sex drive. Vivid fantasies and vivid day dreams. Impulse to study subjects I'm interested in, and I mean study intensly. | I've lost 100 pounds three times with Tenuate and proper diet. It makes the diet painless. The weight stays off about 3-4 years. Usually I took Tenuate one year at a time to loose 100 lbs. I've gone down from 320 to 210lbs with no hunger. | M | 1 years | 8/13/2004 | 5 | Weight Loss | dry mouth, sleeplessness at first, later on a little short of breath at times. | I have lost 47lbs in a year, with moderate exercise and eating right along with taking the medicine, I am now in a normal weight range but have not quit taking them wanting to take off another 5lbs. They don't seem to work as well now as they did the first 6 mos I was taking them.I think it is time to take a break from them and see if the weight stays off. | F | 36 | 1 years 75 MG 1X day | 7/1/2010 | 5 | Lose weight | Some slight menstrual disruption | I was always skinny growing up, and then all of a sudden, I was up to 179 pounds, which is huge for me. Along with anti-depression medication and hormone balancing, Tenuate, has been a DREAM come TRUE! My doctor tells me I'm the poster child for Tenuate. I lost a total of 45 pounds! I have been off of it for a week or so, and I haven't gained the weight back. I'm still trying to eat 1200 calories a day, because I do NOT want to gain it back. Try it, and you'll LOVE it! | F | 35 | 1 years 25 3X day | 8/8/2012 | 5 | Sick of being so fat | Some Headaches, Depression, Heart Palpitations (not sure if its from the pill ) | I have lost 65 lbs and kept it off for a year I dont take pills on the weekend .Im thinking of taking a few months off to give me body a rest from meds | F | 35 | 15 months | 7/28/2008 | 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 lose weight, was obiese | Dry mouth, Insomnia, would wake very early and find it hard to drift back, more energy, Racing heart rate, but nothing that a good workout would bring on anyway, More confidence, more chatty than usual was worried my work colleges would notice | Started off a right fatty, 17 stone 8 bs, went on the tablets in may last year, only my partner knew because i didnt want anyone to judge me, at first i lost about 4 lbs a week had more energy and was really focused, started walking n the treadmill 3 times a week for about 45 minutes each time, by October i was down to 13 stone and then i hit a plateau but each week i still lost about a lb, i never gained until Christmas, when i decided to ditch the pills and go alone, have actually gained back abut a stone due to really poor eating habiits, but i am now into my 2nd week on them again and ive already lost 5lbs of that... the tablets are great at first but then you do need to introduce moderate exercise and healthy eating, i always have 1 day off usually a Saturday where i will miss the tablet and eat my favorite food and have a glass or two of wine, on the whole i would say be prepared to put the effort in, and you will get the results you want, im aiming for 10 stone by summer.... | F | 35 | 8 months | 3/28/2009 | 5 | weight loss | I love this drug. It gives me energy, takes away the urge to overeat, and gives me the strength to make good dietary choices. I really haven't had any side effects.

Thank u | F | 6 months 75mg | 6/29/2019 | 4 | to lose weight | A little dry mouth in the beginning. | This was the only product that ever worked. In 6 months I lost 55 lbs without really trying. Every month I lost and never gained. It worked great for me, but not for my husband. I never felt hungry, but my husband still felt hungry. | F | 49 | 6 months | 7/18/2007 | 5 | Weight Loss | At first a little lightheaded and very thirsty, but this disappeared after about a couple of weeks. Occasional restlessness. | After being diagnosed with hypothyroidism, I felt depressed because of all the weight I had gained. I went to the doctor's office to see about participating in a weight loss program. The doctor prescribed tenuate as it would not interact with my synthroid medication. I went to the doctor's office once a month to have my blood pressure monitored and have had no adverse affects. I have now been on Tenuate for 5 months and have lost 30 pounds. I was placed on a 1200 calorie diet and am eating healthy again. Tenuate really suppresses my appetite and has curbed my cravings for sugar. I feel so much better about myself and know that I couldn't have done it without the help of tenuate. Let me tell you, if you have a thyroid problem, it is next to impossible to lose weight! I am now only twenty pounds away from my goal weight. I would recommend this medicine to anyone! | F | 44 | 5 months | 9/17/2006 | 5 | weight loss- I need to lose 20kgs | at first my skin was itchy like hives and i was very thirsty. I also didnt get a period for 3 months but when i stopped taking them it came. | I started taking them 4 months ago but had to stop for a month for personal reasons. Before I stopped taking them i thought they had stopped working, I had lost 8 Kgs. When I started taking them again I have found they are working but with no side effects. I have lost 12 Kgs and still going. I did this with healthier eating and a daily walk..... It has been quite easy. I reccomend this drug to anyone trying to lose weight!!!! | F | 20 | 4 months | 12/23/2005 | 5 | Obesity | More energy, accelerated weight loss and feeling happier because of the better energy levels and buying smaller clothes! I lost 3.5 stone in 4 months | I first took this drug about 10 years ago - I would like to take again but cannot find it easily online to buy in the UK | F | 37 | 4 months 75mg 1X day | 5/19/2013 | 5 | to loose weight | I have not had any ill effects from this medication!
