Obesity
"I&#039;ve been on Contrave since 12/2016.  Began three days after Christmas.  I was 250 lbs.  I lost thirty &amp; down to 220 in three months (80 carbs a day) &amp; maintained until (chocolate season of Easter), but now I am up to 230.  I don&#039;t feel the medication is working anymore- at all.  However, the doctor has scared me into believing I will gain back the other 20 if I go off of it.  I&#039;m a sugar addict.   Plain and simple.  It&#039;s like crack cocaine.  Tried telling the doctor this who wanted me to try CBT.  Yeah, no.  I don&#039;t need any armchair psychoanalyst telling me that &quot;Hey, you really crave sugar.&quot;  I get about 15,000 steps in a day, but it doesn&#039;t help.  I want to lose another 50 pounds, but it&#039;s clear that this medication won&#039;t be part of it."
