"i started contrave in october of 2015.   i followed a 1200-1500 calorie diet and walked for activity. i lost 60 pounds by july of 2016. i was taken off the medicine slowly and have since maintained the weight loss. i did suffer through some illness in the beginning, but i used bonine for the nausea. after two to three weeks i felt fine.  contrave was a success for me!!!!"
