Obesity
"I have been taking Contrave for 6 weeks. I have lost 18 pounds (186 to 168) and have been extremely pleased with the results! The initial side effects of nausea,  constipation, headaches have all gone away!! If you are just starting stick with it. Give it a week. I am taking the full dose now and the sugar cravings are gone. I am using my fitbit to log my intake and set up challenges with friends to encourage exercise.  I hope to lose 20 more pounds using this medication.  I have tried phentermine and had a terrible time with sleep. I have not found contrave to effect my sleep. It relaxes me enough and the exercise has helped. I have dry mouth but I can live with that!!!"
