Weight Loss
"I am only on my 3rd day of contrave, but since I was already taking half of the med, I was able to start at week 2. First evening, right away I noticed no desire to eat, no preference for food. I&#039;ve been eating only because my stomach growls, and I am eating very little. I only had upset stomach.
My situation is special circumstance. I am not overweight. I cannot exercise due to chronic pain condition. And that is why I have to stop. As noted, the naltrexone&#039;s primary use is to block opioid receptors to help people with addiction. It&#039;s blocking my pain meds, so I&#039;m in excruciating pain. Contrave seems to work, but kind of scary, if something happens and you need pain meds at a hospital, contrave blocks a lot of the pain med relief, for me."
