For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on this medication for 1 month, and it DOES take away hunger. I take my pill around 10 a.m. because I'm more of a late-night eater. I have had the headaches the first week taking the pills, but they have slightly gone away. This pill does make me feel a bit of the rapid heartbeat, but only for a bit. I did feel a bit of depression the first week taking it, and it's not like me at all, but as my body is getting used to it, that feeling went away. I have tried phentermine, and that gave me crazy energy. BUT I was still able to eat on it, it did not really take my hunger away like diethylpropion. I'm on the 75 mg ER, so it releases slower for the whole day. I exercise 5 days a week for 1 hr and 30 min, lost 12 lbs, and exercise and eat right."

Diethylpropion for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been using Tenuate 75 mg for 4 months along with a modified high protein/low fat diet, substituting 2 meals a day with a protein shake. I have lost 41 lbs and gone from a size 20W to a size 14! I am very happy with my weight loss and how this drug makes me feel! I have no jitters or racing heart and can tell a difference if I forget to take it. On days I forget, I feel like I'm searching for something to put in my mouth and have to make a truly conscious effort to drink more water and not succumb to my cravings/urges to eat anything and everything! Days when I take it, I almost never think about eating and have to use the alarms set on my BlackBerry to remind me to eat every 4 hours! I have a lot more energy and no trouble sleeping."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I took diethylpropion 75 mg 5 years ago for about a year and lost 55 pounds. In that time, I noticed my heart rate rise about 10-15 points. Last year, due to stress with work and private life, also work overload and not having the time for taking proper care of myself, I gained it back and some more. I started taking it again 2 weeks ago. And what I noticed, first of all, it suppresses my appetite for a couple of hours and gives me energy for the meantime, but my heart rate doesn't rise at all, the effect doesn't last long, and I don't lose any weight. Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to make things work again? My husband and I would like to have a family/kids, and it would be really important to lose at least 30 pounds."
