"i was a bit nervous about starting contrave due to all the listed side affects which sound scary. my healthcare professional said the suicidal thoughts would probably occur in someone under 18 y/o. she didn&#039;t have any comment on the part about seizures. sister and i tried it on the same day. sister took hers and panicked, thought she was dying so she didn&#039;t take any more. i have a high tolerance for everything so the dizziness and sudden nausousness didn&#039;t alarm me as much. make sure you don&#039;t have anywhere to go when you 1st try it. first week was a little rough, i got immune to it. it does suppress my appetite but not much. i&#039;ve lost inches b/c i have energy to go to the gym now but my weight is about  the same as it was 2 months ago."
