Didrex Reviews
For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I was severely obese and didn’t know what I was doing to myself. I was basically killing myself or eating myself to death. I was 400 lbs. When I started this medication, I noticed an instant change in not only what I was doing to myself, but it gave me energy I didn’t have. It sort of woke me up and made me realize what I already knew - that I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror. That was almost 10 years ago. Today I am my ideal weight for my height, 130 lbs, and I could not be happier. I have lost the weight and kept it off."
For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "There was NO medication, I repeat, NO medication for weight loss like Brand Didrex, which, for some insane reason, has been discontinued. Substitutes are weak and a shadow of the brand - this was the worst misguided action the DEA made in the midst of a dangerous obesity crisis in these United States. So forget substitutes - they are JUNK and nothing like Didrex which was the very best EVER!"
For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have used this medication for many years, it keeps the weight off of me and helps me to concentrate much better. I believe I actually had ADD and I was very unorganized. It has helped me in numerous ways without any negative reactions, and I do not have to increase the dosage, it's always been the same. I am very happy with this medication."
For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I just started taking Didrex on 2/9/16. I've lost about 7 pounds in a week with increased energy. I did have headaches at the beginning, so I decided to take 100 mg of Ibuprofen, which helped greatly (I wasn't willing to stop without giving the medication a chance). I actually don't have to force myself to eat, I had a HUGE appetite. I still get hungry, but the drug suppresses my appetite, so I'm able to eat a normal amount, sometimes less. It does a wonderful job on the sweet tooth, I haven't had any chocolate, which is amazing!!"
For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "One year I lost more than 30 lbs without any notable side effects. Stop meds and gained weight all back. Last yesr took the meds and kept off maybe 5lbs causing elevated blood pressure and a bald head to show for its value. Negative experience."
For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "This is the first real diet medicine I've taken and I lost 60 pounds in about 8 months."
For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been taking Didrex off and on for over 20 years. It is the only pill that really works in helping me lose weight. I had to stop taking the medicine for a year, and I gained 20 pounds."
For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Didrex is a great weight loss medication."
For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Works well for me. It helps keep the pounds off because of my bad back."
For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "The best weight reducing medication I have ever taken. I lost 45 pounds and kept it off. I had no problem with sleep. Very effective, can't understand why it was discontinued!"
For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Do not use!! Causes congestive heart failure! Must avoid at all costs!! Don't go to a dumb ass drs who don't care about you!"
