"overall, i really like this drug and hope to be able to continue taking it and finally lose this weight.  i lost 3 lbs in my first week, though none in my second week.  sw: 199 gw: 150

this is my third try with contrave.  the other two tries have come to an end because i get really weepy.  this time, i am titrating up at a slower pace and that seems to be helping,

side effects:  upset stomach and lightheadedness for the first 3 days after titrating up.  i have found that taking bonine (anti nausea tab) solves this problem.  exhaustion on days 2 and 3.  sleeping better and needing less sleep to feel energized.  constipation.

my insurance does not cover this medicine.  the out of pocket cost at target for 120 pills is $90 with the manufacturers discount."
