"i took contrave as doctor ordered . i did not feel any improvement in appetite or weight loss. when i got to third week 2 am and 1 pm i was feeling bloated stomach hurt . i thought i will try to get to week 4 which was 2 am. and 2 pm. but i didn&#039;t get there. i was starting to feel out of breath and really bloated. i went back to doctor i said i can not take this anymore it is making me feel bad. i feel alright now .  but my share of cost of contrave was $229.00 which i am out of pocket and still have half the pills of  120 left."
