"love contrave! i have been on contrave for some time now. 37 yrs old, 5&#039; 4&quot;. to date i am down 63 pounds :) i did not lose my weight overnight, so do not get discouraged. i still get to have the foods i like, just much smaller portions. i get so full, and stay satisfied until my next meal. i drink lots of water throughout the day. the only side effect i have had is cotton mouth, jolly ranchers help a lot. i do like that they offer a coupon to help cover the cost, my insurance does not cover it. when i first started taking contrave, my out of pocket with the coupon was $60.00, now i pay $90.00. i have no clue why the cost went up :( i have had several friends get on contrave because of my results. my own doctor was very pleased as well."
