"i have taken the contrave for 7 days.   i have had a few side effects, such as nausea, headache, and little irritability.   i had these symptoms pretty much everyday.   i have noticed the cravings of foods i usually wanted late at night are gone.  i seem to feel a little better with less side effects today.   hoping it was just getting used to the medication.  i have lost about 2 lbs.  this week .."
