"i&#039;m a 60 year old woman that has been up and down with the weight. our son is getting married oct. 2016, so i had to get this weight off. i went to my doctor and she suggested contrave. i have been on it since oct 1 2015 and have lost 40 pounds. it&#039;s at small increments but i&#039;m so overjoyed that it&#039;s working. i have had multiple back surgeries (spinal fusions, hip replaced, and more) and can&#039;t do a lot of things for exercise. i walk as much as i can. i have adjusted my eating habits and types of foods. i would like to say this medicine has been helpful. i feel like a million bucks. the med curbs my appetite. stick with it, your worth the $$ it costs. dizzy once."
