"i started contrave last month. took one pill and had extreme side effects the first day. i was extremely dizzy, nauseous, tired and had a headache i wasn&#039;t able to shake for a few days. i didn&#039;t continue taking the pill because i had a busy week with work and was afraid i&#039;d continue feeling like that. i restarted contrave last monday and just finished my first full week and am down 4lbs. i had barely any side affects the second time around besides feeling really tired by the middle of the day. it has cut my appetite in half and eliminated a lot of cravings. hoping for even better results now starting week 2 and pills 2x a day."
