"update from my 3/5/17 post. 

so it has been one week since i started contrave.  i have lost 9 lbs and i am very happy!  i am not craving sweets or junk food at all. my energy level is good although i haven&#039;t started any exercise yet, waiting until upper respiratory  infection is completely gone.( nothing to do with contrave). 

making sure to drink a lot of water everyday.  after day 4, had some constipation  issues but i just added some prunes to my oatmeal, and problem solved.  definitely eating smaller amounts of good food because my mind is telling me i&#039;m done. i like that a lot!

today i will begin taking 2. hoping things remain the same, i&#039;m a little nervous reading the side effects that some others are having after increasing dose."
