Weight Loss
"I am now on my 4th month of Contrave and have lost 40 lbs. I am averaging 9-10/lbs per month. I started at 185lb and I am down to 144lb. (5&#039;5&#039; female). I am beyond happy with this drug. My weight loss comes from an extreme loss of appetite. I have not really exercised. When I do eat, I get full very fast and my meals are about 1/2 the size. I&#039;ve had minimal side effects, the worst being insomnia and clenching my teeth, which after 4 months has not gone away (but it is worth it). I did a review a month after I started (MojoT. 4/15/17) and can say my opinion has not changed. Every medication is different. What works for one might not work for another. This particular drug was perfect for me though. Only downfall-it has not helped me stop smoking."
