"i have only been taking contrave for 3 weeks. i have felt a little nauseous occasionally. the worst side effect is insominia. i started at 241lbs and after 3 weeks 233lbs. i feel happy, like i could take on the world. perhaps the antidepressant is responsible. certainly not like past diet pills that make you hyper and nervous. i really think this drug is a miracle so far. i make better eating choices and don&#039;t eat as much. i attribute this to not having cravings and not really caring that much about a meal any longer. wish my insurance would cover it but it&#039;s well worth the price so far."
