"i have just started taking contrave and am on week two and will start week three tomorrow. so far i have gained back all the weight i lost before starting this medicine. i still eat the same foods i was eating before starting contrave. the only change i have is that when i do eat it makes my stomach feel extremely bloated after eating for about 30 minutes to 1 hour then i feel &quot;normal&quot; again. there is no boost of energy. i don&#039;t know if this is how this medication is supposed to work, but i am trying. i was hoping that for the price i would see results so far but unfortunately i am back at my uncomfortable stage again since gaining the 12 pounds i had lost already..."
