"today is day 9 on contrave. on day 1 i felt a reduction of my carb cravings and have been able to make better choices food-wise 99% of the time since then. i am after knee surgery so am unable to do any exercise but began 177.8 and today i was 173: a 4.8 pound loss in just over a week -- pretty amazing.



important: contrave blocks all narcotics: no pain-killer or muscle relaxant can work -- valium, morphine, delaudid  etc. this was a scary side-effect when i wound up in the emergency room, so just be aware. i was on day 2 when that happened and had to stop and start again post-surgery/pain killers.



slight nausea after pill 2 yesterday (day 8), otherwise really vivid dreams, a bit of sleep disturbance but no other side effects."
