"i was prescribed contrave by my doc. i have always been a healthy eater and exercised daily. i&#039;m 30 years old and a mother of 3. i was diagnosed with thyroid disease 2.5 years ago.  my thyroid disease was making weight loss difficult, almost impossible. 

 i have been on contrave for 6 weeks. the only side effect i have had is increased sweating (but that could also be it is summer and blazing hot where i live). i have not had any of the other side effects others have mentioned. no nausea, no sleeping problems etc. i exercise 6 days a week and eat a balanced diet. i have lost 17 pounds so far! i&#039;m thrilled that the scale is finally moving again! i feel that you must have a balanced diet and exercise to get the full benefit of this medication"
