"i stated taking contrave for my binge eating on 10/1/15 and just started month two this past monday doing two pills in the morning and two at night. for my 4 week follow up i lost 2 lbs which was a little disappointing however i know this medication is working for me. i have had no desire to binge or stack on sweets or heavy carbs. i did experience a little nausea and dizziness the first couple of weeks but they have all subsided. the only side effect i may have is waking up multiple times through the night. i give contrave a 10 because i can mentally tell a difference and for me that is whats most important at this point of my life aside from being healthy. i eat a low carb diet and stay away from processed foods. i also do a boot-camp workout 4-5 days a week"
