"i have just completed my first month on contrave and i have lost 15 lbs!  i also made a huge diet change cutting carbs/sugars and started working out on the treadmill 30 min in the mornings.  my all day energy has really increased.  i was skimming the reviews and thankfully, i have not had any of the side affects that others have had.  i make sure to take after i&#039;ve had some breakfast, like i do with vitamins.  the only challenge i have found is getting all fours pills in.  i&#039;ve got to carry them in the evening to ensure i have them with me to take.  i have had a small bit of constipation, but i have increased my daily fiber pills and things got better.  i&#039;m looking forward in seeing what month 2 can do for me :)"
