"i have been taking contrave for almost two months.  i am a 50 year old 5&#039;2&quot; woman that started out at 155 lbs.  since starting i have lost 11 lbs.  i had i think all the side effects.  a week of severe nauseousness.  no throwing up just wouldn&#039;t eat anything without a stomach ache. before i started contrave i drank up to six cans of pop a day and now do not even crave it.  i had headaches for about a week and constipation.  now almost two months in and i feel better.  i really feel this is a great diet pill.  i only have 9lbs to go to my goal weight."
