"been on contrave for three weeks and have lost 8lbs. i just started taking three pills a day. it took me longer to go up on dosage than it should have,but it took my body longer to adjust. i did have the jitters and did get nauseous when i upped the dosage, but now i feel ok. i definitely get full quicker and no longer snack. i also noticed my craving dissipating. i am training with the couch to 5k, bc on may 16th i&#039;ll be doing my second 5k!"
