Tenuate Dospan (diethylpropion) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "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."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "The best weight loss medication I have ever used! I have lost 20 lbs in 2.5 months! A record for me! Side effects are minimal. I am not hungry most of the time, which gives me great control over what I eat. I count my calories each day to the best of my abilities. I used My Fitness Pal website to calculate how many calories I should eat a day to lose the weight for a specific period of time which was key to my success."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I had a hysterectomy 4 years ago and gained so much weight. I tried diets, exercise and omg I would just gain more weight! My doctor told me to try this and in 3 days I'm down 8 lbs!! I am so happy to have finally found something that helps. Can't wait for the rest of the nasty pounds to fall off."

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I love this pill. I'm 46, 5'9" and weigh 294lb when I started back on this pill a 9 days ago. Down 10lbs. I am on a doctor supervised liquid diet plan. He prescribed me Tenuate because I never forgot this little helper because on the same style diet plan with tenuate I lost 90lbs about 16 years ago. After my weight loss journey 16 years ago I put back the weight about 5.5 lbs a year. :-( well now I'm back at it just older now. But this little pill hasn't changed, still great. Minimal side effects. I am experiencing side effects of a dry mouth ( so I'm drinking more water) and Insomnia. The insomnia isn't crazy but I'm wide awake for the late late show, whereas I didn't use to be. I'll take the extra TV time over being a over weight any day. Ask your doctor about this pill. It works."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am completely satisfied with this medication. I had a few side-effects the first 4 days (a bit jittery, headache, insomnia, constipation) but all but the constipation has passed. I have been on this for 3 weeks today and am down 11.4 pounds. I am thrilled with it as I had tried Phentermine and had terrible side-effects and had to quit. I am on about a 900 to 1000 calorie daily diet. Drinking lots more water and walking daily. It gives me a good energy....I want to be up and doing things but not like hyperactivity. It's been a great experience, so far."

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "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."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "It's exactly 1 month today went to clinic to weigh myself and have lost exactly a stone which is around 14lbs. I think great but must say that speed of weight loss has reduced to around 3lbs a week but still losing not gaining."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "My Kaiser physician prescribed diethylpropion on May 18 2021. In 37 days , I have lost 31 pounds. My knee pain has almost completely disappeared! I am more than thrilled at the result and wonder why this was not prescribed to me years ago as I have struggled with my weight for twenty years. The only side effect I felt was in the first week. I felt a little amped up. It has not effected my sleep at all. I still take a 4pm nap and have no trouble sleeping at night. I make meal plan every day of around 1500 calories and find it so easy to follow now that my appetite is suppressed. I still have 45 lbs more to lose but I am confident I will get there by the end of this summer with the help of diethylpropion."

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started Tenuate in Mid March and now am down 40 lbs. I use Tenuate along with a low calorie diet and moderate exercise. I just reached one of my first goals which was to be <200 lbs. That was a big step for me. I haven't been this small since my first pregnancy back in 1995. I still have a long way to go but I am very happy with the outcome this far. I usually skip the Tenuate on the weekends because I tend to not eat breakfast on weekends. If I don't eat an hour or so after taking the pill in the mornings, I get a little jittery. I would recommend this to anyone looking to lose big numbers. I weigh in with my doctor once a month and she monitors my blood pressure, etc. Couldn't be happier."

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I've been taking 75 mg of Tenuate for 4 months now and have lost a total of 40 lbs and intend to lose another 15. I dropped the most weight during the first 2 months and then slowly added a few more calories to my diet to slow down the weight loss and back off the pills so that I don't put more weight back on when I'm totally off them. It takes discipline and I now eat lots of fruits and vegetables. This pill is really amazing and you do have to sometimes remind yourself to eat. There are some days (when I don't take the pill) that I feel hungry and eat more so I always try to eat less the next day. So far that's working. Since I'm 60 yrs old my Dr. has been monitoring me very carefully but I've had no issues whatsoever."

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "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!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "After using diet pill after diet pill and seeing no effect I finally went to my Primary Care Physician I told him that I didn't know what was happening to me I couldn't stop eating. Even when I knew I was full I was still eating. After the weight gain And being at my heaviest 192 lbs. came depression and that made my eating habits worst. Within a week of taking this medication I lost 5 lbs my eating habits started improving I no longer craved ships or sugar. By the end of two months I had lost 13 lbs. My clothes started fitting me and my depression went away. I love this medication it's been 3 months and it seems like I'm stuck at 176 lbs. Exercising improves this medication. I love this medication."

Tenuate Dospan (diethylpropion) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I used tenuate dospan over a period of 7 months, losing a total of 5 stone. I had lot's of energy, although felt a little low in mood, the results counteracted the way I felt. I stopped taking them, soon after I suffered a heart attack, since then I have ventricular tachycardia, which is managed with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, I have atrial fibrilation, and I have had a CVA (stroke) I am now in heart failure"

Tenuate Dospan (diethylpropion) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Tenuate Dospan was the best medication ever. I took it years ago and lost so much weight. It was the only time in my life I was able to. It's so unfair that we can't get it in Australia anymore!! I have tried to get it overseas and can't find anyone that will send it. It's really effective."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "This is the most honest review I can give about this medicine. Its amazing. I have been on it for one month and have lost 1 stone and 3 pounds. I go to the gym 4 times a week and I am on a controlled calorie diet. Please ensure that you eat breakfast first then take it 10 minutes later to ensure that the tablet is effective. I find sometimes the medicine wears off by 7pm so I try and take this pill late mornings to ensure I don't get hungry. At the end of the day, this pill does help but you can only really help yourself. Make sure you exercise regularly. You have to put in effort to get excellent results. This is not a miracle pill."

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Unbelievable! I have lost 20 pounds in 47 days. I went from a large size 12 to a size 10. There was a time when the weight stayed the same for 2 weeks, but after that, it started to fall off again...so don't give up! I am so much happier than I've been in a LONG time!"

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I've tried Tenuate 2 years ago to lose weight. It WORKED then and now I'm older and have high blood pressure and a bad back so I needed a boost again! Still works the same in lowering my hunger, lost 5 lbs in 2 days! 35lbs more to go and I'm VERY confident I'm going to succeed. Mine are 75 mg. No side effects with the exception of dry mouth. I drink more water."

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I was prescribed Tenuate extended-release tabs because of my caffeine sensitivity. Of course, I noticed a change but not the jittery/shaky feeling that comes with harsh stimulants. My side effects included nausea, constipation, blurred vision (which I didn't associate to the meds). I lost 15 pounds over a three month period including the winter holiday period but noticed after that I was not losing anymore. Two months later and a 6 lb weight gain, I've decided to stop taking the meds. Immediately, I noticed extreme exhaustion and an inability to get going."

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 10am 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 heart beat but only for a bit. I did feel a bit of depression the first week taking it and its 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 75mg ER so it releases slower for the whole day. I exercise 5 days a week for 1hr and 30 min lost 12lbs and exercise and eat right."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on this medication at 75mg for two weeks now and have lost 12 lbs. I feel great. There was some side effect the first few days but all that is left is a dry mouth but I just drink alot of water which is actually good for me because previously I was horrible at drinking it. I will be monitored monthly by my doctor to ensure safety and am so far satisfied with the beginning results."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on Diehtylpropion for exactly one month now. When I was originally prescribed Diethylpropion I was a little disappointed because I have heard such great things about Phentermine. The doctor explained why Diehtylpropion was more suited for me because of my anxiety issues. The first few days of taking it I did have elevated anxiety, but that ceased after about day 3. My starting weight was 230lbs, 5'7" and exactly one month later I am at 214. I keep my calorie content under 900 and lift a half hour of weights every other day and use the eliptical every once in a while. I have a desk job so I do not get any exercise at work. My goal weight is 170lbs by May so I'm 1/4 of the way there!"

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I just started the time release, this is my third day. I have always been hesitant because about 6 years ago I started suffering from severe panic attacks and since then I have had a hard time with anything that gets my heart rate going or makes my body feel weird including caffeine. So exercise would trigger panic attacks, I finally got them under control with meds but I weigh 277 pounds not a number I usually say out loud. So anyways I am not having any major jitters or anything, I have dry mouth really bad but can work with it. I do find that I have no appetite and food taste a little different but not craving to eat all the time. I am down to 269lbs, which is probably water weight. I am staying hopeful because I really need my life back."

Tenuate (diethylpropion) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on Tenuate for a year and at first I was losing weight fast (30lbs) and looked great but by 6 months I had stopped losing so my dr took me off it for 3 months. I got back on after I gained back 20 of the 30lbs lost. This was during summer and I have two kids I'm constantly chasing. I've been back on Tenuate for 3 months and I have gained another 6lbs WHILE ON TENUATE!!! I have a healthy diet and exercise regularly. So, if you want to lose weight for a specific occasion this med is great for you but if you want something to help you keep it off....this might not be it."
