Tenuate Feedback

If you have used Tenuate, please help others by adding your feedback. What would you tell someone considering using this weight loss medication?

Subj: Tenuate for ADD
Date: 11/8/2009
Was prescribed Tenuate for ADD, not for weight loss does this make since?
David

AskDocWeb: Yes, Tenuate produces an amphetamine-like stimulation and we've read where some Dr.'s are now prescribing it off-label to relieve the symptoms of both ADD and ADHD. Chemically it is very close to Wellbutrin.

Subj: Speed feeling
Date: 11/9/2009
I just was given Tenuate from my doctor, I am nervous about the "speed" feeling that I have gotten in the past like when I took Adipex. Can anyone comment on this? I don't want to stay up or days or feel like my hair is growing!
Paige

Subj: Lost 80 lbs with Tenuate
Date: 11/17/2009
I've taken tenuate before. I actually was 240lbs when I started taking it. I took it for about a year and I lost 80lbs with it. It did make me very speedy, but that didn't bother me. I did lose some hair, but not really bad. Over all I think its a good weight loss pill.

Subj: Multivitamin?
Date: 11/20/2009
I am 27 years old and 182 cm is my tall and 95kg is my weight. I want to lose weight around 10 Kg. How long I have to take this pills? Is it necessary to use multivitamin with them or not?
Hassan

AskDocWeb: Although the use of a multivitamin is not mentioned in the patient information for Tenuate, it may still be a good idea to ask your doctor if you need one. If everything goes well you should be able to lose 10 Kg in 3 or 4 weeks.

Subj: Nervous
Date: 12/3/2009
I am using Tenuate Rd about 4 months and I have lost about 10 kgs . What's bad (at least for me) I am very nervous after certain of hours ( I was nervous also before but now even worse) I am thinking to stop next month and maybe try something else but not long-term.

Subj: Concerned about gaining weight after stopping
Date: 12/7/2009
I want to start using Tenuate but I am a bit concern about the weight I might gain after stop using it. Is there any report about gaining weight after stop using the pill?
Sanaz

AskDocWeb: There is no report about gaining weight after discontinuing however, you can increase the chances of keeping it off if you make the changes in diet and lifestyle to those that support your health.

Subj: Get up and move
Date: 12/28/2009
I used tenuate 21 years ago for 90 days. At 800 calories a day. And I walked everyday to get my heart rate up to burn calories. What I am saying is you have to get up and move. If you want to be successful. I returned for my first weight check 14 days after starting and was in tears after finding out I lost 22 pds! My total after 90 days was 54 pds. My doctor asked if I thought I needed another month of medicine and I declined. You have to change your relationship with food. The way I describe it is this...I use to live to eat now I eat to live. I lost 14 more pds after the medication and kept it off for over 7 years. Kids and several back surgeries later I am 40 pds heavier but am happier and I maintain this weight with no problem. Through out all of it I never really changed what I ate just how much. Oh, except for soda-I went from 4 a day to unsweetened instant tea. 0 calories! That was the hardest part for me but worth it!! So I say, GO FOR IT!

Where I can order Tenuate Retard 75g?
Mrs N

AskDocWeb: Tenuate Retard is a brand name of the drug Diethylpropion. It is also sold under the brand names Regenon, Tenuate, Tenuate Dospan, Neobes, Dietec, and Liposlim. The safest place to get it is from your local pharmacy and you will need a prescription.

I have been taking Tenuate for 4 months now and I have started to loose my hair in the front (thinning), could this be due to the medication?
Carolyn

AskDocWeb: Yes, hair loss is listed as one of the possible side effects of using Tenuate.
