"i&#039;ve been on contrave for 6 months.   i&#039;ve lost 23 lbs.    i&#039;m very happy with the drug.     it works.     it 100% controls my cravings for drinking alcohol and making poor food choices.    once the weight came off a bit i felt better about exercise and that helped shed some more weight.      i weigh myself everyday and the weight loss now is slow.  15lbs came off fast in the beginning.  the rest is a little under 1lbs a weeks.  which is excruciating on a daily basis.  however, seeing the numbers go down is a win and the numbers are moving in the right direction.  

  my experience has been that this drug works and works well.    i take 4 pills a day and i hope to continue for a long time.    my goal is to loose another 20 lbs."
