Obesity
"I&#039;ve been on contrave for about 7 weeks now. I&#039;ve lost roughly 33lbs. In the first month I easily dropped 20lbs. I eat less than 1400 calories a day, but I am extra aware of what I put in my body as to not be unhealthy- lots of protein, steamed veggies, and staying hydrated. All that being said, I will say the side effects were murder for me. I had/have pretty much all of them on the list of possibilities. Nothing that I can&#039;t handle though, nothing overly severe....I just wouldn&#039;t call it a &#039;fun&#039; experience. I exercise regularly, but the majority of  my changes have been to my food. It pretty much takes away superfluous hunger, so I only eat when I truly need to. I&#039;m so happy to have found something that works."
