"i&#039;m a 44 yr old female i started contrave on 12/15/15 taking one pill a day. my starting weight was 240.  on 12/22/15 i started on two pills a day the next day i was extremely nauseated all day long.  i got relief from the nausea with dramamine.  as of today i have lost eight pounds &amp; my nausea is not as much but i do experience a little dizziness.  i drink three to four large glasses of water a day if not more.  my cravings for sweets has stopped &amp; when i eat i get full pretty fast &amp; don&#039;t have the urge for seconds &amp; stopped drinking soda.   i&#039;m sticking with contrave i feel it is working for me."
