"i started contrave last tuesday i weighed 211 lbs. i weighed in again yesterday and i have lost 6 lbs in 7 days. the first day i felt a little strange, like i was on a pain medication or something. i felt nauseous for the first couple days but that soon went away. the side effects that i have noticed now is; excessive sweating and major mood swings. today i start taking two, one this morning and one this evening. we shall see how i do. i will check back next week. good luck everyone!"
