Weight Loss
"I began taking Contrave on November 25, 2017.  I am relatively active but have a tremendous appetite, sweets, carbs, chocolate, etc.  I had no willpower, so my Dr. put me on this medication.  Today, January 13, 2017, I have lost 20 lbs. and am encouraged.  I did, however, have one setback.    I didn&#039;t pay enough attention to the warnings about taking cold medications.  I got a pre-Christmas cold and began cough syrups, cough drops, and  a well-known mucous remedy.  Within 3 days I had developed small bumps that looked like bug bites.  The next day they had turned into rashes on my hands, legs, shoulders, and back.  The Dr. advised my coming off the drug - the rashes disappeared in 2 days. I am back on for 2 weeks with no side effects."
