"i have been on contrave since jan 23rd 2015.  the first month i did not notice a difference in my eating habits but i lost 2 pounds.  i did experience constipation almost every day in the first 3 weeks which gradually dissipated.  as of today i have lost 9 pounds (7 in the last 5 weeks).  i have found that i have lost my urges to overeat and to snack.  i have also noticed that i eat less during meals.  i am not trying to diet.  all of a sudden i just noticed that i am not thinking about food at all.  i have been only eating when i am hungry. (my stomach is literally growling before i think about it).  the one thing that i have been feeling that i am not sure is related to the drug or not is feeling dizzy when i ride the chairlift skiing."
