"i am on day 7 of contrave, about to increase to 2 pills/day. i am a 48y.o. male, 5&#039;7&quot; with a starting weight of 240lbs. i have lost 3lbs in a week, which is an accomplishment since nothing was working before. i do exercise regularly (cardio), but my eating habits were (are) very poor. i noticed the side effects of an intense fog, and slight dizziness (similar to a nyquil haze) about the 1st day or two, then it went away. i feel the cravings going away, it could be a placebo effect given that the cost i paid vs. my income could possibly just be will power finally kicking in. i will try to update as i go to full dosage, hopefully this will be what it takes to get my lifestyle a bit better. my wife runs like a 5k every other day, and i want to join her..."
