"i have been on contrave for 3 months now and am down about 35 pounds.  i love it!  i have had absolutely no side effects at all, and once i got up to the full dose i am not hungry at all.  in fact, i often have to remind myself to eat.  on my doctor&#039;s advice i&#039;ve actually lowered my dose back to 2 in the morning and one at night.  it isn&#039;t doing it all on its own.  i am also making an effort to be more active mainly through walking every day along with eating less.  i want to lose 90 pounds total and am well on my way."
