"i have been using contrave for 5 days in an effort to lose 40 lbs and keep it off.  currently,  i am doing one tablet in the morning and one at night because one a day wasn&#039;t working. (it would wear off and i need the help at night) 
contrave definitely works, so far! i can eat half as much as i used to and enjoy it my meal without overindulgence.   i&#039;m not disappointed that the meal is over and i don&#039;t crave food when i&#039;m not hungry.  that alone makes the adverse side effects worth it. my favorite thing is that i do not crave or want alcohol.  i&#039;m sure alcohol contributed to my obesity with empty calories and the cravings it gave me. i have lost 4 lbs. side effects the first two days,  it felt like morning sickness! will update"
