Hello ! sorry for the delay in update, been quite busy with school -_-
Anyway, I've actually stopped taking the Panbesy pill since Monday ! Reason being that when my period came, the flow was very low ! Usually my flow's really heavy and I get really very bad cramps which leads to chills and sometimes nausea, and this has happened for so long I honestly cannot remember the last time I got a period without bad cramps ! However when I got my period on Friday, the flow was super low, like what it would actually have been during my 4th-5th day of period, when my period is ending !
I though perhaps it's just cause my period JUST started so the flow's like this but the same thing happened on Saturday& Sunday ! and I got quite worried lol. although I've cursed and wished for a period without cramps and all, this kind of flow just doesn't seem right ! So I stopped the pills on Monday up till today and the flow has increased ! I'm not too sure whether this is because of the pill or my diet because I've researched but cannot seem to find anything about Panbesy affecting period flow so maybe this just happens to me !
The funny thing is though, when I stopped the pills on Monday, I didn't feel hungry as I would have felt before I started consuming these pills. I continued eating lesser than I would normally would have, just like when I was on the pill ! (Eating lesser as in, I will continue eating all three meals BUT cut my portions into half. Also no craving for snacks so that's a bonus!) I think my stomach has gotten used to eating lesser food after two weeks on Panbesy which also means I would not need to consume the pills to continue suppress my appetite ? will continue to observe and update you guys soon !( next week)
p.s no weight update as my electronic weighing machine has ran out of battery and I just realised it when I was typing this post !
UPDATE (since I got the battery for my machine) :
Day 1 : 62.4kg
Day 7 : 60.8kg
Day 16: 58.4kg

Panbesy Day 10
A short update, because I have been suffering from constipation wtf. tried my best to poop for the past few days and I just couldn't. Even my trusty Yakult failed me !! (usually after i drink Yakult I would poop but it didn' t work this time, although frankly speaking I have never had constipation before so maybe that's why !)
Did a quick search on line and it seems like quite a number of people who took panbesy/duromine experienced constipation !

So today I finally dragged myself to the supermarket to get myself some prune juice and within 2hours of drinking it I pooped ! HALLELUJAH *pops confetti* never ever felt so happy because of poop before lolol only regret is that I didn't get prune juice earlier, was so uncomfortable ! #whathappensifyouarelazy #sufferfornothing
Anyways, about prune juice, not sure if you know but
"Prune juice is a strong (natural) laxative and will give you the urge to go to the bathroom shortly after drinking it. This is good, because it helps you clean out your bowels in an efficient manner. Also, prune juice contains substances that are key to battling constipation. One of these substances is dihydrophenylisatin, which is known as a laxative agent. "
Which also means, if you drink too much of it, you will end up having diarrhoea, and that kinda sucks too ! I just want to get my poop out lol, no diarrhoea please *takes a step back*. So, if you are wondering, I drank about a 3/4 cup of prune juice and the poop came knocking already !
Okay, enough about poop and a little on the side effects that I am currently facing now since I am here ! giddiness still occurs from time to time, but not much *phew* ! and it only happens when I stand up after lying/sitting for a long period of time.
Dry mouth has became drier BUT increased heart beats are gone now !! hope it stays this way because I really don't mind drinking lots of water especially since the weather in Singapore these few days is so bad, you start sweating just by sitting at the bus stop for less than 10 minutes to wait for your bus ~.~ and also, dry mouth is MUCH more comfortable than increased heart beats !
Alright that's all for today bye !!

Panbesy Day 7
Hello ! today's the 7th day I took the Panbesy pills ! so far I have taken three 15mg pill and four 30mg pill~ Just weighed myself and I am 60.8kg ! which means I've lost 1.6kg so far ! ^^ which is pretty great since I did nothing &just ate the pills hahaha wtf.
Today, the side effect that bothered me the most was the increased heart beats. It was a rather busy day rushing around and i was practically running at times thus it was quite uncomfortable ! but not quite as uncomfortable as when I was exercising my ass off last month trying to lose weight so I shall stop complaining !
On a bright side, the rest of the side effects I experienced today were pretty much the same as the past three days, so I guess they have kinda stabled down ? hopefully over the next week, the side effects will fade away*fingers crossed* or at least, for the increase heart beats... please decrease little !!
Anyway, my next update will be one week from now, since there are no major changes in the side effects and so there will be pretty much nothing for me to update on ! Weekly updates seems like a wiser choice, especially since I will be resuming lessons from next week onwards ! Alright that's all see you ^^

Panbesy Day 5
Hello ! so I took my second 30mg panbesy pill today ! The weird thing was that the giddiness only lasted awhile ! Took my pill at around 7am and there were only a few occasions of mild giddiness and it all went away by 12pm ! Which was like the total opposite of day 3 where the giddiness only started in the evening !
Anyway, after the giddiness went away, the only two side effects that I felt were dry mouth and increased heart beat ! which pretty much went unnoticed throughout the day. I just subconsciously drank lots of water throughout the day and didn't realised it till I had to pee a lot &then I will be thinking to myself "When did I drink all these water???"
In the case of the increased heartbeat, I only noticed it when I was walking with my grandma to the supermarket which was like just a 10mins walk from my house ? So I realised that I generally noticed the increased heart beats when 1) I just woke up 2) I walk long distances. So thank god I wasn't planning to do any exercise while consuming these pills hahaha wtf
In my defence, I'm not doing any exercise because I want to find out if the pill really works (&then I will let you guys know if it works so in a way I'm doing it for you all, my readers ! I think I deserve an Oscar for this or something hahaha jk !) and also because the only exercise I enjoyed doing previously was to run,short distances may I add, but le doctor has told me not to run so much (read about it in day 1). So oh well, no exercise !
Alright that's all for today ! will only update tomorrow if there are weird changes to le side effects, otherwise the next update will be on Day 7 ! ^^

Panbesy Day 4
After posting yesterday, around 5pm-6pm in the evening, I got another side effect, giddiness. It was rather bad. at one point I almost fell, my vision was blurred and all, I had to grabbed on to the table if not I would have most probably ended up on the ground. but the blurred vision thing only happened once& it mostly happened when I stood up after sitting/lying down for a while.
Therefore since my work today consisted of me standing for 8 hours straight, I decided to take the 15mg pill instead ! (thank god I took the 30mg pill yesterday, who knows what would have happened if I took the 30mg pill today wtf faint at work = no money, no face)
However, a weird thing happened, rewind back to day 2, I felt hungry around 4-5pm when I was on the 15mg pill. However, today, I didn't felt hungry at all ! Actually forced myself to eat during my break at work today because I woke up late and didn't get breakfast ! I'm not too sure why this is happening ?? So in conclusion, the 15mg pills worked out fine today lolz.
Will continue the 30mg pill tomorrow onwards(since I don't have any more of the 15mg pills anyway) and we'll see how it goes ! hopefully no more giddiness ! but to play it safe I'll just camp at home the whole day tomorrow lol wtf. till then ! ^^

Panbesy Day 3
Hello ! So like I mentioned yesterday, I started on the 30mg Panbesy pill today instead of tomorrow and omg I did not feel hungry AT ALL. I woke up at around 645am, ate the pill and went on with my morning routine before having piece of bread for breakfast. I surprisingly felt full after that !(normally this would NEVER have happened wtf)
And I didn't eat anything till about 5pm (when my grandma forced a pear on me) gonna go grab some dinner after this post though, since it's probably not a good idea to skip so many meals plus I have a gastric problem ! :l
Anyway, moving on to the side effects, in this 30mg pill, I felt more increased heart beats. Like before when I was on the 15mg pill, I only felt it when I woke up from a nap/sleep. Throughout the rest of the day, I didn't feel it ! However on this 30mg pill, I could feel my heart beat pumping faster and more often in me as I was like sitting and all. On the dry mouth, it was about the same as when I had the 15mg pill !
A side effect that I got today that I didn't get when i was on the 15mg pill was irritability. I got so irritated at trivial things/situations that I would normally have been fine with it ! So I have been apologising a lot to people today because I will think back and realised it was nothing to get irritated at?
Alright that's all for day 3! see you tomorrow !
p.s if you are wondering how much weight I've lost so far, I'm waiting till a week is up before i weigh myself ! because what i have lose initially may be because I pooped lol wtf

Panbesy Day 2
Yesterday after signing off, I took a short nap and woke up with an increased heart beat ~ which is one of the side effects. it wasn't uncomfortable though, and it went away soon after ! so I was fine with it !
Alright moving on to Day 2 !
I had increased heart beats but I didn't feel as thirsty and i actually felt hungry ! so Day 2 is like a fail lol. and I didn't have insomnia (thank god) so yep ! so far I only have dry mouth and increased heart beat ! which is not too bad, i guess. and because of my dry mouth i kept drinking water and ended peeing so much wtf. thank god I was near a toilet the whole time today (literally, the toilet is right in front of my work place hahaha)
Decided to start on the 30mg pill tomorrow instead of Friday because i felt hungry ! WHY? SOMEONE TELL ME WHY *punches pillow in anger* hahaha wtf. Okay thats all for today, hopefully have good news tomorrow !

Panbesy Day 1
Hello everyone ! this blog will be all about my Weight loss journey with Panbesy !
I first got to know about Panbesy when a local blogger from Singapore blogged about how she lost weight. As she did not reveal the pill that she took, a quick search on the internet led me to Duromine, the appetite suppression pill that seems to fit all the criteria mentioned in her blog post. (Note, this is just my assumption. The blogger did not state what pill it was that she took nor did she tell me. All offence is unintended. I apologise in advance.)
You can find out more about Duromine here and about Panbesy here.
Both Duromine and Panbesy have many side effects like dry mouth, insomnia, levated blood pressure, increased heart rate, nervousness, irritability etc so i was hesitant to take the pills at first.
I went on to youtube to find out more and i found this video of a woman who has taken the pills before. There are many more videos like that on youtube, you can continue on to take a look ! After watching these videos, I decided that the pills wee safe to consume and the side effects.. well no pain no gain right ? haha
So the next step was to find out where i could get those pills in Singapore ! Frankly speaking, there are websites online that are selling these pills but with medication, i feel like it is safer to visit a doctor and get the medication ! This way, the doctor can access you and also decide the amount of pills you should take !
And so i continued researching and i found various blogs here here here and here recommending Dr Keith Ong at Parsons Medical ! Seeing the large amount of people who recommended it and many positive reviews of it, i decided to book an appointment at the Yishun Branch ( because consultation is cheaper,) and i went for an appointment today morning.
I arrived at about 905am and was the second patient ! (I was late, my appointment was at 9am but i got so confused about the bus to take !) I went in, the Doctor took my height and weight and measured my BMI. He told me about all the side effects and said I was the kind to gain calf muscles easily lol (no wonder keep running never lose weight, legs become fatter wtf) and advised me to do more stretching exercises or yoga instead ! He also told me to cut down on carbs, if i eat outside, just eat half the rice would do ! He also made it clear that these pills are not for long term purposes, and asked me to come back in a month's time for a check. (if you go back within 6 months no need pay consultation !)
He then gave me a month's supply of Panbesy. 15mg for the first three days and 30mg for the rest ! (Consultation + Medication cost me $94)
So being a kanchiong spider, i took my first 15mg pill immediately after i left the clinic lol wtf. and around 30mins later, i started feeling very very VERY thirsty. I drank so much water (just dranked a whole cup of water down while typing this) and also, I felt full after eating three pieces of sushi wtf. tried to eat 1 more and I felt super full I actually felt like puking so I stopped and so yup ! so far that's all the side effects I am feeling right now !
oh a little information about me i am a female, 157cm tall and weigh 62.4kg ! will update more tomorrow to see how it goes!
