A Duromine Journey
with Premier Clinic
So I got invited again to try some treatments at Premier
Clinic. This time, the branch of choice is at the Bangsar branch. I took a
komuter train from Kajang to KL Sentral and then took an LRT to Bangsar. You
can take a taxi from KL Sentral but it’s cheaper to take from the Bangsar LRT
station. Since I fear rejection from taxi drivers, I decided to take an Uber.
The fare should
roughly be like this, if you took a metered taxi, it should be slightly over
this price. If you like, you can always walk……. *you are so hardcore, but
better not la, for your safety just take the damn taxi, grab car or Uber la.
You can also drive there, but it is Bangsar, so good luck with parking though.
This is the waiting area
in front of the counter
However they do have
a private room if you feel like you need your privacy.
I was actually
curious with the oral weight loss medicine that they offer in their clinic.
After the consultation with Dr Elaine, she recommends me Adipex. It is a drug
containing an ingredient called Phentermine which is a common weight loss pill
that is available globally and is approved by the Food and Drug Authority
(FDA). The drug works by reducing appetite which in turn reduces cravings and
this ensures that you will be eating less. It blocks the hormone cortisol
production in the brain for this to happen.
A pill to lose
weight, sign me up! Whoa there, hold up. This is a drug, to be more specific it
is a drug that can only be prescribed by a doctor. That ended the excitement
incredibly quickly. The reason why is that since it is affecting your hormones,
it does come with a few side effects. Common one includes hypertension, palpitation,
tremors, anxiety and mood swings. Basically it means higher blood pressure,
increased heart beat when you are resting, shaking of the hand, worrying and
being a bitch for no reason. As you can see, I was concerned. Dr Elaine told
me, that some people experience it and some don’t. This is not a drug you can
take for a long time because your body will get used to it. It is only
prescribed up to 3 months and the dosage will be regulated by the doctor based
on how each person reacts. I was given the regular 30mg dosage, which is 2
Adipex pills to achieve the best effect.
Before we started, nurse Nisya, took my measurements which
includes weight, height, body fat percentage, and blood pressure. Yes the
picture above is blurred intentionally but if you really squinted you would
know the numbers. My blood pressure is
already high, so Dr Elaine suggested me to check up on my blood pressure
regularly. I could do it at the clinic, or pharmacy. Since my mother has the
machine, I could check in on my own.
Well the first few days I could feel the change. I did not
feel like eating. I am still hungry but I don’t need to eat. I still eat
though, because my stomach felt empty. I could always just keep drinking sugary
drinks because you become thirstier when you are on Adipex. Since I was at
home, the anxiety and mood swings is relatively under control. However when we
are at work. That is a different story.
There was a big change at work. A drastic change that will
change the way I work. I did not response well. It was horrific to say the
least. In fact the morning before the announcement, I got into an accident
because I was so worried.
Luckily this was the only injury that I got.
Then BAMMED! I got hit by the announcement at work. It was
so bad. I did not know what to do. I was so upset that I kept on eating even
though I felt full. This is definitely one of the way the medicine will not
work, if you make a conscious effort to still eat. The next few days was
terrible. I was lucky I had a two day leave so I could go through all the
emotions.
So basically this was my playlist of Spotify, which sums up
my feelings during that time. This is the anxiety and mood swing working at
full swing *pun intended. My stress level was so high, when I check at my local
doctor office, my blood pressure was higher compared to before I took Adipex,
which is the common side effect that Dr Elaine had previously mentioned. I had
to calm down, after going back to work, I sorted out my issues and I managed to
calm down. I had to, I wanted to live long enough for the Adipex to work and I
had a vacation planned in a few days after that.
You know what happened?
I enjoyed my vacation. I had my ups and down, but that is
life, but I love it. I did feel I already lost a bit of weight because I was
able to buy a jacket from Uniqlo and it actually fit, albeit snug.
So I think Adipex is definitely one way for you to manage
your weight. Remember all that time in the gym will mean nothing if you don’t
control your food. I think it’s like 80% food and 20% gym. So let me control my
food intake first and let me develop my healthy habits before I journey off
into gym world. I did skip a few days of Adipex and yes somehow the food
cravings came back. Nevertheless I stuck to my guns, I did have a nibble and a
nibble only just to ensure I won’t go broke by eating everything in sight.
My next appointment with Dr Elaine will discover how much I
really lost after taking Adipex. Depending on my budget, I might continue for
another 2 months, just to ensure that I will get the best results. Besides,
that Uniqlo jacket must fit me for the next trip I make to another cold
climate.
