"i have been taking contrave for three weeks and two days now, and as of this morning lost 17 pounds! i am also on a low to no carb diet, only what sugars are in fruits and veggies. i haven&#039;t walked as often as i need to, but plan to do that more. i had a little nausea at first, probably from the meds and from eating no carbs. i am so thrilled! i have 70 more pounds to go, but i am determined to do this. i am hypothyroid for last 15  years, so was skeptical that anything would help me. this has been great for me!!! good luck to all! i received a coupon from my doctor and had to go online to register. this coupon saved me $230. i paid $70. the pharmacy originally said it was $300. there was no way i could do that."
