"today is 1 week of the two drugs in contrave, taken separately, and in different doses than contrave. (cheaper w/ insurance to do it this way.) so far i am very pleased. down some, the scale is flipfloping a bit--it actually broke-- but think i&#039;m down between 5-7 lbs. my energy has increased, and the ses are minimal. i take a homeopathic called nux vomica the second my stomach feels funny, and i&#039;ve not really experienced and feelings of nausea because of it. dreams are interesting and pleasant. overall, i am extremely happy with my results so far. three questions: anybody else taking the drugs separately? any girls out there still feel pms cravings? any reports from long term users?"
