"i&#039;ve read many are having nausea and headache with contrave. i&#039;ve had a headache but it didn&#039;t last long. the med is working as my dr told me it would. it helps with cravings. i take two around 11 am after i&#039;ve eaten a healthy breakfast. that dosage kicks in a couple of hours later which keeps me from cravings in the afternoon. i then take two more around 4pm these stop those dreaded night cravings. 
one must eat healthy and not expect a drug to take pounds off miracously. i&#039;ve lost 3 lbs since beginning them 13 days ago. i&#039;m very happy with these results."
