"i have been taking contrive since august 18th and today is december 4th and i have have had great success. if you feel a little funny for the first week or two it is totally normal. just a tiny bity jittery and a little constipation at first. it is all gone now. i originally started at 305 pounds and was able to get down to 275 pounds on my own. it took me a long time to loose my first 30 pounds, 6 months to be precise, i began to get discouraged. after talking to my doctor he thought i would do well on contrave. with contrive i have lost 40 pounds in less then 4 months. i don&#039;t have any side effects and i feel great! this medicine is changing my life and i am so grateful to have found it!"
