"i have been on contrrave 3 weeks now.  i started taking 1 in the am and 1 in the pm, then increased to 1 in the am and 2 in the pm.  i was always nauseous, but it would go away after a day or 2.  i have been on the 4 pill dose for a week, but it&#039;s made me so nauseous, i decided to cut back to 1 in the am and 2 in the pm and see if that helps.  i have not weighed myself (scale is not working), but will get weighed when i go back to the doctor on june 1st.  it doesn&#039;t really make me feel any differently other than the nausea, but that is preventing me from eating a lot.  it does help if i eat something small first thing in the morning, but i feel so sick, i don&#039;t want to.  i&#039;m hoping cutting back for a week will help."
