User Reviews for Diethylpropion

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Obesity: I have been on Tenuate for three months and along with a healthy low carb diet, I have lost 22 pounds. I asked the Doctor for a prescription with little to no side effects. This medication has succeeded.

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Obesity: I went on this to help get a jump start on my weight loss. I have lost 34.2 pounds in 3 months and am so happy with the results. I can really tell that I have lost the weight. I have so much energy than before. I would recommend this to anyone that is seriously overweight. It's literally saving my life.

Tenuate Dospan (diethylpropion) for Obesity: Very effective at 75mg dosage taken once daily. Last about 10-12 hours. Helped with obessive eating habits and I actually had to get out of bed and clean. At least I was moving-getting some form of exercise. Tried Fastin in the past, did not find that anorexic as effective as Tenuate. I felt better each day!

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Obesity: It's not true what they say about only taking it for a few weeks. I have been taking it for almost 2 years. I got off it for two months and I noticed I was hungrier. In fact I was so hungry I gained 7lbs those two months. Then I re-started the pill and lost the weight again. I lost a total of 90lbs and maintained them since starting the Tenuate and exercise. I eat the same foods but smaller portions and exercise 4-5 times a week. I am now slowly decreasing my strength but to be honest I'm afraid to be completely off it. Might be more of a mental thing. I never had any side effects and see my doctor every 3 months for a blood pressure check and every 6 months for blood work to make sure it hasn't affected my liver/kidneys. I would recommend this medication anytime.

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Obesity: I've been taking Tenuate for 6 months. I'm very pleased with results, I've dropped 4 dress sizes and 30lbs. One thing I've found to be the key to my success, is working out and making sure I eat enough calories. I only want to lose 17lbs more pounds and I'm keeping "the faith", that I will accomplish my goal.

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Obesity: I did very well taking Tenuate and lost over 50 lbs. It gave me more energy to exercise, less of an appetite, and generally more hope to get my weight regulated. I didn't experience any negative side effects. However, when I stopped taking the pills, I slowly put the weight back on. Almost all of it. It's devastating. I don't think it should be a short-term solution.

Tenuate Dospan (diethylpropion) for Obesity: I lost 10 stones in 15 months - the first 7 stone came off easily in 7 months. I was following a healthy diet - but found it easy to reduce my calories. I had loads of energy and felt great.

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Obesity: Amazing, I have been taking only 50 mg of this for 8 weeks. I have lost 31 lbs 3 sizes, I don't feel racey or speedy or weird, I feel good, if I miss a dose I don't feel it. Missed it for 4 days and didn't gain any weight. I am also eating really well and exercising! I recommend this if you have tried other things and they haven't been successful. I am a 31 year old mother of 5. Nothing else worked this is my miracle!

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Obesity: I just started tenuate 25mg today. I am hopeful that it will work for me since I have had no luck with a few other medicines. I'm a little concerned that I might experience some scary side effects. I'm frustrated because I've been doing 60 minutes of cardio 4 times a week, eat low gylcemic, and haven't lost any weight in over a month. If this medication doesn't work, then I will soon be out of options.

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Obesity: I was 155 pounds when I started taking Tenuate 75mg. I know it may not sound like a lot of weight to the average overweight person but I'm only 4"11 in height, so its a lot. I lost 32 pounds and went down to 123 in two and 1/2 months. I've been off Tenuate for a little over four months and have gained 10 pounds back. It's been entirely my fault for gaining it back. I have had no self control at all and have done no exercise at all. I'm lucky that its only 10 pounds and not more. Bottom line, these are great pills for weight loss but once off them you really need to put your part to keep it off. Maybe after a month of being completely off them, you should take an over the counter appetite suppressant to help slowly curb cravings and hunger.

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Obesity: I have been taking the 75mg for 2 months now. I have lost 43lbs so far. I can't believe how much it helps with my hunger. Before I would be hungry all day, and I would eat all day. Now I stick with a 1000 calorie diet, and I make sure I eat breakfast, and all my meals are much smaller portions. There are even days I skip a dose, and I wouldn't even know it. I would recommend it for anyone who has fought with their weight over the years. After only 2 months I have been able to stop taking my blood pressure medicine.

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Obesity: I have been taking 25 mg Tenuate for almost 3 weeks and I am gradually losing weight. So far lost 8 lbs. My physician prescribed a water pill. I am definitely watching what I eat and making better food choices when I do eat, i.e. low in fat and lots of veggies. I have absolutely no side effects and I can easily sleep at night. So far so good.

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Obesity: I have been using Tenuate 75mg 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.

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Obesity: I have been on Tenuate for 3 months now and have lost 33 pounds, and I couldn't be happier. Though there is a lot of hard work involved in exercising and making sure to eat right, but I would recommend Tenuate to anyone who needs to lose a significant amount of weight.

diethylpropion for Obesity: I took this medicine 2 years ago and lost 60 pounds in about 3-4 months. Unfortunately, I stopped taking the medicine and started dating and off course we ate all the time. I have recently started taking the medicine again and I have already lost about 25 pounds. One thing I can say, on other medicines, if I stopped taking them, they didn't work when I restarted them. This medicine is not like that, if you take it...it works. My blood sugar is below 100 most of the time and I was at the point where the doctor wanted to put me on insulin. I have more energy and find myself actually looking for something to do, rather than sit and watch TV or take a nap because I'm so tired. I hope that one day, the company will let me be their spokesperson

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Obesity: Today is my third day on Tenuate. I am taking the 75 mg once per day and have found that it works really well when I take it on an empty stomach with a FULL glass of water. I lost about 30 lbs on my own and then got stuck because I could not overcome being hungry all the time. So I went to a weight loss clinic and was prescribed this pill. In the last three days, I have had so much energy, no problems sleeping and my appetite has decreased enough that I can stick to my 1100 calories per day with no problem. I am already down 8 lbs. I know I won't lose like this every week, but it is nice to be out of the rut I was in!

Tenuate Dospan (diethylpropion) for Obesity: I have been taking this medicine for one month and have successfully lost 28lbs. Almost immediately after starting the medicine my cravings were reduced significantly...I could walk by sweets and wouldn't want them! So far this has been the answer for helping me shed the pounds, in addition to watching my calorie intake.

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Obesity: I have been taking Tenuate for about 3 weeks now and I have lost 10 lbs so far. That was without watching my diet too much and little to no exercise. I asked the doctor to put me on something to help because I might have to have back surgery. I can't do a lot of cardio aside from walking. He put me on this and I've been feeling so much better. I sleep great, no side effects aside from dry mouth and I do get dizzy quite a bit. Definitely makes me not want to eat. In fact if I go to eat something an hour or so after taking it I feel like I'll get sick if I keep eating. I know it trigger's nerve's in your brain so everyone's reaction will be a little bit different. I don't feel like I'm over energized or "spacey". 20 lbs to go!

diethylpropion for Obesity: Today will be my 3rd day of taking the 75 mg tab. I am using this in conjunction with Weight Watchers and regular exercise. I could tell on the first day that taking it at the beginning of my work shift (7:00 a.m.) was too early as it started to wear off just before dinner time. I have moved it to taking at 11:00 a.m. as late afternoon, dinner and after dinner is what I am trying to control. First day I was sleepy, 2nd day no side effects, no jitter, no heart palpitation, nothing. Feel great and definitely was not hungry. Did have dry mouth (but that only served to help me drink my water) and did not have trouble sleeping. I am very excited about the prospect of this working for me. I have 70 lbs to lose.

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Obesity: I have tried and failed so many times to lose weight with low calorie and exercise. I went to a weight loss clinic and they gave me tenuate. I'm always so worried about weird side effects but I'm happy I don't have any with tenuate. I have so much energy and painted almost my whole house in two days. I'm on 75 mg, and have to force myself to eat that's never happened before. It's 2 weeks and 5 lbs off. I'm hopeful. Please post more success stories.

diethylpropion for Obesity: I have been on 75mg dose for 6 weeks now. I wanted to lose at least 28lbs overall and in 6 weeks I have lost 14lbs. I have had no side effects at all and would recommend them. I've bought all sorts in the past few years. Cost me a small fortune and nothing worked so these have been a blessing. I am much happier within myself and the weight loss is definitely noticeable.

diethylpropion for Obesity: I lost 65 lbs in about 6 months with Diethylpropion, along with exercising and eating healthy. It really made a difference in helping me lose the weight. I maintained my weight for over a year without the medicine by exercising regularly and watching what I ate, but I haven't been very good about my routine lately and just found out I gained 20 lbs over the last 6 months so I just got a new prescription again.

diethylpropion for Obesity: The first month I was on diethylpropion I had a little headache but it goes away. I lost 11 lbs in the first month. The second month I was on this I lost only 3 lbs, its because you still do have to exercise. So I was off of it for 1 month and gained about 4lbs because I went back to my old habits of overeating and I didn't watch what I was eating. I think this pill will still work even if you get off of it, you just have to watch what you eat and count calories. I'm back on it again and I have had some headaches but it went away.

diethylpropion for Obesity: I started on Diethylpropion 75 mg once a day about a week ago. I've lost 5 pounds and feel good. Lot's of energy without the jitters. I highly recommend this medication for weight loss.

diethylpropion for Obesity: I started taking this medicine almost four months ago and have lost 28lbs. I am 51 and have some problems with my mobility so haven't done much exercise at all but still managed to lose - and thereby help my mobility! I found the 75mg dose too strong for me and so I changed back to the 25mgs and even those, I only take twice a day instead of three. I have found that on the days that I don't take them, they still work! The main problem is that my poor bowels have completely forgotten how to work! I am eating a much healthier diet but still remain constipated - which is why I have a break once a week! I only need to lose another 14 lbs and I'm at my ideal weight. I would recommend this treatment to anyone!
