"i can&#039;t rave enough about this drug!  sure people say they got nauseated when they started it. of course there are side effects!  they go away!  i had mild nausea for about a week. after that it was gone!  i started contrave at the end of march 2015 and now as i approach the end of august 2015, i am down 27lbs!  i&#039;ve gone down 3-4 pants sizes!  i&#039;m sad to say (but also happy) that i haven&#039;t even worked out!  i was on effexor for depression before starting contrave and then stopped it because of the wellbutrin. i was worried about it, but ends up.. the wellbutrin is 10xs better!  i&#039;m happier, have more energy, and my over all outlook on life is so much better!  i tell all my friends about it and i think it is worth it to try it!!"
