I take one in the morning and one a little after mid-day.
I have come to realize that it has a allot ….a whole lot…to do with me reminding myself what my tummy feels like..not my hankerins.
I tough….but if you really ..really want to do it….then, there is nothing that can stop you.

I think you should call your DR and have him/her give you a new prescription. It might be that those pills are old and have lost the effect. Does it have a use by this date thing stamped on the box? I found a site and it says “Follow your doctor’s instructions exactly and never change the dose yourself. Increasing the dose may not necessarily make you lose more weight or make you lose weight faster. However you will most likely experience more side effects.” It also says that “Duromine works by directly affecting the area of the brain that controls your appetite making you feel less hungry.
Duromine should be used as a part of an overall weight management plan which should include a medically controlled diet and exercise program.” I would just go see a DR tell them how much it worked for you before, and see if the DR will give you a new prescription. Good luck!
The highest dosage is 37.5. This drug is related to amphetamines and it could kill you if you OD.
Never double the dosage of a medicine unless a doctor instructs you. Your real doctor in person not some stranger on the internet.
