Obesity
"Update! I started Contrave on 12/6/15 at 5&#039;2&quot; and 166lbs. As of 1/17/16 I&#039;m down 15lbs. I&#039;m on 1400 calories or less a day and exercise for about 20-30 minutes 2-3 times per week (if I&#039;m lucky!). I&#039;m a nurse so I regularly get at least 8-10K steps I per shift, so that may be a plus for me. The nausea and constipation have gone away, but when I tried to go up to 4 pills, the nausea and headaches came back with a vengeance, so I&#039;ve been taking 3 pills and steadily losing weight so I&#039;m not concerned about titrating up to 4 pills. Don&#039;t give up -- your body needs time to adjust. It is not a miracle pill - you have to make an effort and lifestyle change if you want this medication to help with your weight loss."
