Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query.First of all the rugs like duromine should be taken only under the expert advice.Duromine contain active ingredient called phentermine ,which suppresses the appetite by working on central nervous system .Duromine is recommended for obese persons having BMR more then 27.

It is also recommended that one should do regular exercise (as you already doing) and eat healthy diet while on duromine .Only doctor can tell what should be the correct dosage for you (30mg ,15mg or 40 mg) and over dosage is extremely dangerous .

Weight loss as you mention is ok ,but it should decrease your hunger rather then increase ,this means your method of taking duromine or dosage is not correct.So consult doctor before continuation .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
