"i&#039;ve been taking contrave for 2 weeks and 3 days. every since i started i get bad stomach cramps after i eat. it doesn&#039;t matter if it&#039;s a well proportioned healthy nutritious meal or a unhealthy meal it happens after every meal. i feel nauseous a little still and in the beginning i felt nauseous more frequently! i feel energetic, sometimes tired but that depends on my amount of sleep. for the most part i feel energetic. since i started taking this pill i don&#039;t ever feel hungry i have to remind myself to eat every 2-3 hours or i will only eat once a day which is terrible. so all in all the side effects are not worth it. this will be my last day because the stomach cramps have become a inconvenience and make me miserable after eating."
