"i have been taking contrave, 1 pill bid, for over 2 weeks.  have not lost one pound.  have been extraordinarily hungry - to the point that my stomach starts growling by about 6 pm!!!!  seriously?  i have been overwhelmingly tired throughout the day and have found it very difficult to get up in the mornings.  i was already taking wellbutrin, so i just took contrave instead of my daily dose of wellbutrin since it was close to the same dose.  perhaps this doesn&#039;t work for people that have been on wellbutrin for a while.  total waste of money and time."
