This drug was prescribed for me to lose weight. I lost 34lbs. I have gained about 8 pounds back. I took a few months off and started Didrex again to get the 8 pounds off. Not only has this drug helped me keep most of the weight off, it has helped with neck pain and shoulder pain that I have had over 16 years. I know it's the Didrex because I am not taking any other medication. I guess it sounds unbelievable, but truly it has relieved severe neck pain, shoulder and upper back pain. I have read numerous articles and reviews on Didrex and have read that Didrex helps with ADHD (hyper). It helps ADHD patients to stay focus and not be figity during (school, testing, important events, etc). I thought that was interesting. Anyway, wonderful drug. Just wished it wasn't so expensive and wished it was covered on our insurance.
The only problem was finding someone in MS to prescribe it. I had to take it only twice a day because I only get hungry in the afternoon and right before bed. This is great with exercise and diet !!! This is not a magic drg and I could see its potential fro abuse. I give it a thumbs up !
When I have gained weight (now 173 !) I take this medication and it suppresses my appetite. It helps me lose weight!
IT WORKS. AWESOME.
I was expecting side effect but i have not experienced any at all! I have been taking it for about a week now, and it works wonders. I have lost about 7-10 pounds. I have hardly any appetite, and when i do eat, the amount it drastically reduced! works awesome. i love it!
Eliminated my fibromyalgia pain
I began to take this drug as a substitute for Ritalin (sick of the headaches), and to see if it could help with ADD along the lines of the Dexedrine Spansules I started on. I have found it to have less side-effects than Ritalin, and a mellower attention-span aid than Dexedrine was. I am giving it a couple of months before deciding which regimen to follow, but so far so good!
i have taken this drug for over 2 years. I didn't know that it isn't to be use for that long of time. it works ok for me but now i'm worried about health problems from taken it so long. hope nothing bad comes from it.
it was very effective helping me reach my weight goals!! i would rec to anyone!
