Obesity
"I have been on Contrave since mid-Dec &#039;14. I weigh every 3 months and in March 2015, I had lost 40 lbs. I wish it was a lot more but I know slow weight loss is the best way to assist in keeping it off. I eat approx 500 calories/day and have one &quot;cheat&quot; day where I eat whatever I want. I have found on those &quot;cheat&quot; days, I can not even begin to eat the amount I used to eat. Now part of that is from lower intake of food, but the Contrave does make me feel fuller even on normal days. I have found that the hunger/appetite comes back and then will go away few times each month. When I was ramping up, it did make me nauseous and I can&#039;t stand to be nauseous but I got through it. Worse side effect right now is a horrible bitter taste after sleeping"
