"i have been on contrave for a week. i&#039;m going on my second week and i have dropped about 11 lbs. i started at 197 and today i&#039;m 188. i&#039;m so happy this is working. i have tryed everything to loss and nothing was working till my doctor told me bout contrave. i have not had any side effects. and now i eat a lot smaller portions and i don&#039;t want the craving of snacks"
