"i have been struggling with my weight for some time now and decided to speak with my internist to see if she would give me a script for something that would curb my appetite for sweets &amp; fast food. she prescribed contrave, honestly i&#039;ve never heard of this drug before. did some research &amp; read everyone&#039;&#039;s comments and honestly, i was frightened by the many side effects. i&#039;m so desperate to lose the weight, i started my first dose today. i took the pill around 7:30 this morning and didn&#039;t begin to feel nauseated until around noon. since most of the suggestions, said to drink water to help with the nausea. i found when i ate a few saltine crackers the nausea went away. then came a slight headache. other than that, i&#039;m fine. good luck everyone"
