"i have recently begun taking contrave.  i am looking to loose 10 to 15 pounds.  it&#039;s not much to loose but to maintain it is the problem.  i&#039;ve probably lost the same 10 lbs, over and over again.  my dr. said that&#039;s the beauty of contrave, it helps in maintenance.  day 3 into the program (1pill in the am) i have begun to notice a decrease in the desire to eat. i tend to eat when i&#039;m bored and that&#039;s my issue.  i have none of the side effects which so many mention. i will stick to my daily exercise, lots of water and healthy eating and hopefully begin seeing more positive results by the end of the week."
