What is Tenuate

Measles virus vaccine live attenuatedThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryThe influenza vaccine, also known as the "flu shot", is a type of vaccine that helps protect against infection from the influenza virus. The vaccine works by exposing the immune system to parts of the virus, which causes it to make antibodies that can recognize and fight off the virus if you come into contact with it again. There are two types of influenza vaccines available: inactivated vaccines, which contain a virus that has been killed, and live vaccines, which contain a weakened version of a virus that can still replicate.

Tenuate for Overweight
I've been using Tenuate for a little over a week, and it's helped me lose the last bit of weight I wanted to. No real side effects to speak of, just a headache for the first few days. Definitely recommend if you're struggling to lose that final stretch.

Tenuate for Overweight
I've lost 20 lbs in 2 months. Not only does this literary suppress my appetite between 8-12 hours a day; it also keeps me feeling refresh, alert, and improves my focus & attention span. I wish I could take this as a vitamin supplement everyday for the rest of my life. The only side effect that I have, is dry mouth, but no jitters (like OTC diet pills).

Tenuate for Overweight
I've only just started taking tenuate, so I can't really say how it's affecting me yet. However, I took adipex for about six months and found that not only did I gain back all the weight I'd lost plus more, but I also became VERY MOODY. My doctor says that shouldn't happen with this medication, but my husband and I are both worried that I'll turn into the crazy person I was on adipex. Has anyone else experienced this?

Tenuate for Overweight
I've been taking this medication for two months and, so far, have not experienced any benefits. Some people have reported increased fatigue and decreased energy levels; I can attest to the former, but didn't see any noticeable changes in my weight or muscle mass. I'll give it a few more weeks before deciding whether to ask my doctor for something else.

Tenuate for Overweight
I'm really disappointed with this medication. I didn't see any results after taking it as directed, and in fact, it made me even more hungry than before. I'll be discussing other options with my doctor.
