I love Didrex
I am now on Didrex. Love it. Works like phentermine did when I first started taking it. Lots of energy, not hungry, motivated to exercise etc. I’ve lost 2 lbs. the first week.
My plan is to stay on it, until I reach my goal weight then drop back to phentermine to maintain.
Since it’s not prescribed much, I did have trouble finding a pharmacy that had it. Walgreeens had to special order it for me (It only took an extra day, so no big deal). Price was $31.00 for 30 day supply. My doctor was willing to prescribe it since I have not had much luck with other meds - Phentermine (worked for a long time, but then I hit a plateau), Tenuate (didn’t loose any), Tenuate + Phentermine (didn’t loose), and most recently Meridia (2 lbs per month).
My understanding is that it has a bad rap because it supposedly has a high abuse potential. But they said that about phentermine, and Doctors say that they see very few cases of abuse. My theory is that people who are overweight have lower levels of dopamine than thin people, and that these dopamine releasing stimulants bring us up to the level of a “naturally thin” person. They modify our behavior so that we think and act more like a “thin person”.
