I have been taking Duromine sliming pill for the past 10 years, not continuously but on and off in every 3 or 6 alternate months. I have recently read that duromine can result in over active thyroid and leads me to think about my situation and wonder if I have thyroid problems.

I have very dry skin since young. Recently my facial skin has experience a bad change. My face keep flushing all the while. It excrete plenty of oily from inside but the skin texture is very dehydrated on the surface and scaly too. I have experience great amount of hair loss in the recent 1 year. do you think its can be a cause by the duromine after long term consumption?

During consumption of Duromine i will experience Excessive sweating, Heat intolerance, Increased bowel movements, Nervousness; agitation Rapid heart rate Fatigue, Decreased concentration. I know these are the symtoms of hyperactive thyroids but when i stop the medication on duromine.. these symtoms are gone.

Duromine is a resin based phentermine. It is only meant for short term use.

Each Duromine capsule contains phentermine (phenyl tertiary butylamine C10H15N) as an ion exchange resin complex, equivalent to 15, 30 or 37.5 mgs.

The average use is 8-12 weeks. Excessive sweating, heat intolerance, nervousness, agitation, rapid heart rate and also dry skin are all side effects or reactions from phentermine. A few of them, can be symptoms of thyroid issues. It is highly unlikely, considering the symptoms stop, when you are not taking phentermine.

You really need to have a complete physical and lab work. Your lab results are the only way to diagnose any type of thyroid problem.
Phentermine may cause dizziness, blurred vision, or restlessness, and it may hide the symptoms of extreme tiredness. If you experience these effects, avoid hazardous activities.
Phentermine is habit forming. You can become physically and psychologically dependent on this medication, and withdrawal effects may occur if you stop taking it suddenly after several weeks of continuous use. Talk to your doctor about stopping this medication gradually.


Phentermine is a sympathomimetic amine, which is similar to an amphetamine. It is also known as an "anorectic" or "anorexigenic" drug. Phentermine stimulates the central nervous system (nerves and brain), which increases your heart rate and blood pressure and decreases your appetite.
Phentermine is used as a short-term supplement to diet and exercise in the treatment of obesity.
You cannot take phentermine if you
· have heart disease or high blood pressure;
· have arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries);
· have glaucoma;
· have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), tranylcypromine (Parnate), or phenelzine (Nardil) in the last 14 days; or
· have a history of drug or alcohol abuse.
Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you have
· problems with your thyroid,
· an anxiety disorder,
· epilepsy or another seizure disorder, or
· diabetes.



Seek emergency medical attention.
Symptoms of a phentermine overdose include restlessness, tremor, rapid breathing, confusion, hallucinations, panic, aggressiveness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, an irregular heartbeat, and seizures.








If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking phentermine and seek emergency medical attention:
· an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
· an irregular heartbeat or very high blood pressure (severe headache, blurred vision); or
· hallucinations, abnormal behavior, or confusion.
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur.
· restlessness or tremor,
· nervousness or anxiety,
· headache or dizziness,
· insomnia,
· dry mouth or an unpleasant taste in your mouth,
· diarrhea or constipation, or
· impotence or changes in your sex drive.
Phentermine is habit forming. You can become physically and psychologically dependent on this medication, and withdrawal effects may occur if you stop taking it suddenly after several weeks of continuous use. Talk to your doctor about stopping this medication gradually.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
