Weight Loss
"I didn&#039;t do much research prior to starting Contrave. I&#039;m never one to suffer side effects from things, so I wasn&#039;t concerned. I took my first dose on a day when I was going on a field trip with my son. I could hardly hold my eyes open all day and slept the whole way back to school on the bus. I&#039;m now on week 5, and taking 2 pills in the morning and 2 at night- I&#039;m still sleepy all the time and find myself more hungry than I was before starting the medicine. I haven&#039;t gained any weight, but I haven&#039;t lost any either. I&#039;m going to continue to take this for at least 8-10 weeks, and I&#039;m hoping I can come back and say that it was worth the hassle! If I don&#039;t feel any improvements in my appetite by the 8-10 week mark, I&#039;m done. "
