"i started contrave less than 4/mo ago. i have never provided a review before but feel i should with this drug. i have lost 17/lbs so far and it has been steadily going down. i am a counselor so as a result of my job i emotionally eat quite a bit. contrave keeps my cravings &amp; stress eating from popping up so when i do eat, it is easy to make the healthy choice. i am not jittery because it is not a stimulant. the only negatives have been constipation which i address with a stool softner. i also find that i don&#039;t consume as much alcohol which is not actually a downside unless you are trying to get drunk. most of my office is now on this prescription and most have lost 5lbs per month. it isn&#039;t covered by our inurance but should be. love it!"
