"i&#039;m on day 3 of contrave, lost 3.5 pounds so far. i&#039;m a 46 yo female with 80+ pounds to go. had been feeling fine until today-major nausea and dizziness. a few sips of cold water and a couple of wint-o-green lifesavers later, i&#039;m feeling a bit better. definitely helping with portion control-i get the &quot;i&#039;m full&quot; signal now. prior, i didn&#039;t really get cravings, but if food is there, i can really put it away. making healthier food choices, more fruits and veggies and i do not at all feel deprived. even got in some tae bo dvd excercise (not that i could keep up but did my best and kept moving, was proud of myself!) i don&#039;t feel &quot;spaced out&quot; like i did on phentermine some years back. very happy so far, hopefully the nausea is just temporary."
