"i have always thought of trying out a weight loss pill, but the only option seemed to be accepting being jittery. my psychiatrist started me on contrave and have been taking them for three months. i&#039;m down 40 lbs. i also noticed within the first two weeks that i didn&#039;t want to smoke cigarettes as much. it&#039;s actually listed in the safety info that contrave is also used for smoking cessation, so doctor said this made sense. i have had no negative side effects, i love the scale down program and couldn&#039;t say enough to outline all of the reasons i love this medication so much!!"
