"i started contravene in june  2016  and kept it at one pill a day for quite awhile... mainly because i experienced a lot of constipation. but when i went up to two a day i suddenly was experiencing flushing, sweating and continuous hot flashes throughout the day which left me soaked.  i wasn&#039;t sure if it was the contrave or if i was having some weird hormonal issue.  but, i stopped the contrave just to check and sure enough within 24 hours the profuse sweating and hot flashes stopped as well as the constipation,  i was really hopeful about this medication, but it is clear it is not a good fit for me."
