"i started contrave on 5-6 and first week in a half no side effects other then dry mouth, little bit of dizziness, my dr recommended when you start out to take at night not in the morning, i think this really helped.. now i am taking 1 in the morning and 1 at night and have been for few days, do experience a lot of dizziness and weird feelings, but overall do not think about eating at all, which is great for me.. this used to be all  i thought about, so i can deal with the side effects. i am down 15 lbs in less then a month with little exercise, but about to do more.. i have about 55 lbs more to go, and really feel i will get there with contrave.."
