"i am in week 13 and taking contrave as prescribed.  i am a middle aged male that weighed almost 300 pounds when i started taking this medicine.  so far i have lost 40 pounds.  now this is not just contrave.  i went all in, changed my eating habits (4000 calories a day to 1600) and walk 2 miles daily.  this is the best i have felt since getting out of the army 20 years ago.  

no side effects noticed."
