"contrave had the opposite intended effect on me. i had been dieting and exercising with no help and lost 70 lbs, my appetite was down and i had not cheated for months. then my doctor pleased with my success decided to prescribe me contrave to give me that extra little push. this was a mistake, i already had a suppressed appetite due to a strict diet that i had grown used to, within 1 week of taking contrave i was cheating on my diet, my cravings were going through the roof. like most people it did make me sick occasionally but that wasn&#039;t the big issue. i took contrave for around 2 months and ended up gaining about 20 lbs. back that i had lost. it may help with starting a diet, but if you&#039;re already losing weight without it do not take it."
