Weight Loss
"Been taking Contrave for 5 weeks, so just hit the max dose of 2 pills in the AM and 2 pills in the PM at week ago.  I&#039;ve lost  6 pounds.  I had some side effects - feeling very foggy and tired for the first 3/4 days but then cleared up.  I still get tired in mid-afternoon, but nothing I can&#039;t handle.  

I&#039;ve had to cut back to 2 pills in the AM and one pill in the PM due to extremely dry eyes and mouth.  The reduction in dose doesn&#039;t seem to have impacted the effectiveness of the medication.     

I had some trepidation about how effective Contrave would be for me because I don&#039;t meet the criteria for a binge eater.  I&#039;m more of a stress and boredom eater.  But I have a reduction in craving even when my favs are available."
