"this is only the 2nd full day that i have been on contrave and absolutely zero side effects.  after just one day i lost 2 pounds.  contrave made it to where i wasn&#039;t even hungry.  i had to remember to eat lunch.  in the evening was  a little more difficult.  i was hungry, but i didn&#039;t gorge myself.  i am confidant that when i work up to the full dose twice a day, that may help my cravings in the afternoon/evening.  my doctor told me to take the evening dose about 30 minutes prior to supper.  i will post an update in a few weeks, but i am excited about this new drug."
