Obesity
"I started contrave on May 18th and I am down 13lbs!! I am so excited about that. I have not been exercising but have significantly cut down my calories and fat intake. Today I start my second week and should be starting my second pill, 1 in the am and 1 in the pm. However I&#039;m going to stick to one pill for another week or so. In the beginning, I would say the first 3 days I did have nausea and a headache. My head hurt for 3 days straight! I really thought my body wasn&#039;t going to tolerate the medication. The nausea wasn&#039;t was tolerable but the headache seemed to start off light and then by around 5pm I swear it felt like it had its own heartbeat! But the 4th day I woke up and I felt normal again. I will be checking back in a week or so."
