Tenuate (diethylpropion): 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.

diethylpropion: 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.

Tenuate (diethylpropion): 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.

diethylpropion: 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: 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.

Tenuate (diethylpropion): 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.

Tenuate (diethylpropion): 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 (diethylpropion): 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): 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.

diethylpropion: 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): 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): 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): 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): 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 Dospan (diethylpropion): 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!
