Im also exercising at least 30 min a 3 times in a week. good luck to everyone who is trying to lose weight,unfortunately being overweight can effect so many aspects of your life. It sucks being fat. | F | 42 | 9 days | 4/28/2007 | 4 | Weight loss and sugar cravings | Stomach cramps if not taken with a full glass of water. Diarrhea or soft stool. Even still, I've went from a size 10 to an 8 in less than a month. Weight loss feels comfortable. I exercise twice a week. Stopping after 30 days and will try to maintain new habits. | F | 41 | 10 days 30 mg | 7/13/2015 | 5 | To lose a third of my body weight | Dry mouth, more energy, relaxed mood, prone to day dream or become fixated on a thought from time to time. I forgot to take the tablet one morning and got a headache. I took it at midday and the headache disappeared within 30 minutes. I have read that it is addictive. | I have been taking this drug for 11 days now. I lost 14 pounds in the first week without doing any exercise. This encouraged me to go to the gym and start walking. I can't wait to weigh myself again. Work colleagues asked me if I had lost weight after three days! I eat less and I am able to think about what I want to eat and when. My sweet tooth has gone and I haven't drank Coke for 11 days, which is a record for me. I tried some chocolate yesterday and it tasted bitter. I worry that when I cease taking the drug the pounds will pile back on. I need to learn how to eat more healthier. I am considering seeing a life coach who will adopt NLP techniques so I can maximize my prospects of success. | F | 42 | 11 days 75mg 1X day | 8/21/2010 | 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 | 1/31/2008 | 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 | 3/18/2008 | 5 | Weight loss | Dry mouth | Tenuate has decreased my appetite. I sometimes have to force myself to eat. I used to have a sweet tooth and would always want to eat desserts. I have found myself no longer craving sweets. I love this pill. | F | 36 | 15 days 75 mg 1X day | 5/25/2011 | 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 | 5/24/2007 | 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 | 6/20/2007 | 5 | weight loss | none | Lost weight and inches, Worked great for me but did not work at all for my mom. Each body is different. | F | 35 | 30 days 1X day | 4/28/2015 | 5 | weight loss, must lose 36kg | Have lost 6kg in one month, very vivid dreams, actually nightmares still after 1 month's use, constipated, otherwise feel fine! never hungry. | I think Tenuate is wonderful. | F | 46 | 30 days | 2/27/2006 | 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 | 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 | 5 | Weight loss | Nothing bad enough that I notice. | Works great. Was pre-diabetic and diabetes runs strong in my family. Have lost 22 pounds so far, but more importantly have learned how to eat correctly. Started out walking every morning, gradually increasing to jogging. Quit eating refined sugar and white flower. Started lifting weights again or probably would have lost more weight. Not as concerned now with losing alot of weight as long as I am fit and healthy. | M | 40 | 40 days | 9/3/2008 | 5 | weight loss | at first i had a little trouble getting to sleep but that wore off after a week also i had a dry mouth and felt the need to drink more but this was probably a good thing | i lost 3 stone over 4 months and have been weaning self slowly off taking the tablets so far its all been good | F | 44 | 120 days 1X day | 3/6/2013 | 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 | 5 | Weight Loss | Very Dry mouth,sleepless the first couple of nights and a bit light headed, not to bad though. | I have alot more energy to do things and i really watch what i eat now because i dont feel like eating at all, but i know i must so i have a light meal, like a salad and thats enough. | M | 27 | 1 weeks | 9/12/2005 | 4 | weight loss | Increased energy & focus (but no exhileration), decreased appetite. First few days was about psychological hunger & habits when not actually hungry. Last few days have been about no hunger feelings. Take early as possible (6-7am) & a very light breakfast....an apple at lunch & a child portion of food in evening (which is more than enough) with masses of water in between has resulted in 5lb weight loss in 1wk. I have not exercised so I should imagine this will be more if I do. Craved chocolate in the evenings but overcame this. Easter lunch was the biggest hurdle where I had traditional veggies piled high. I have had diarrhoea (manageable) throughout week & today the veggie binge has given me tummy ache that is related to the runs. I was 16s 7lb on 25/03/2013 & on 31/3/13 I weighed 16s 2lb. In an estimated projection,it will take 12weeks to lose 4 stone & get down to my former weight of 12s 6lbs.Although this isnt as superskinny,it is a weight where I look & feel amazing. Im gonna do it. Good luck guys x | F | 32 | 1 weeks 25mg x3 da | 4/1/2013 | 4 | Weight loss for daughters wedding | No side effects but also no energy | Trying to loose 30-40 lbs before daughters wedding In Oct. Really praying these things work. Won't get on the scale unless my cloths seem to get more loose. I've alway enjoyed a very healthy/conscious meal and I usually eat 1-2 meals a day. Problem is, I've had surgeries, neck and spine surgeries (5) and I couldn't do an exercise if you held a gun to my head. Any other suggestions on how I can ensure weight loss even though I can hardly move sometimes. Like I said, I've only been on them for a week, I'm just worried they won't work for me and my daughters wedding is the most important thing in the world to me. | F | 49 | 1 weeks 25 mg 3X day | 3/19/2014 |
