"i&#039;ve been taking contrave &amp; part of the scaledpwn program for about 4 months. i&#039;m 5&#039;6&quot; &amp; my starting weight was 190. i&#039;m currently at 173-175. my weight loss was gradual but noticeable by others. i feel pretty good most of the time but i have struggled with pretty severe headaches in the afternoon/evenings so i think i will taper back down to one pill in the am &amp; pm. i was taking two in the am, two in the pm. my husband thinks taking this is ridiculous &amp; wants me to stop. he says i look great &amp; taking the medicine makes me moody. i&#039;m not sure about that but i&#039;m struggling with weather to continue trying to loose more or stop. for now i think i will taper down &amp; see what happens. i wish my insurance covered the cost because it&#039;s $60 per bottle."
