"so i have been taking contrave for over a month and have lost ~16 lbs so far. i used to suffer from control issues. i could never have one slice of pizza it was always 4+ not just 1 taco, but a taco dinner.. i would try to abstain from eating junk food or high fatty foods only to be dreaming about them at night waking up and thinking i actually ate these things in the morning, when i woke up it would only make my cravings exponentially worse. after taking contrave within the first week that need to keep overeating went away! i still have about 60 more pounds to go and i can&#039;t see myself doing it without contrave. i am even a part of the scale down weight loss program and i highly recommend it! only if you can  mentally handle weighing daily"
