"i am so thrilled with contrave. i am 40, female, 5&#039;4&quot;, weighed 268 when i started the meds about 12 weeks ago. i am now 240! 28 lbs in 3 months! this is the easiest weight loss that i have ever had. trust me, i have lost and gain probably 350 lbs over the last 20 years. and i always suffered. this rx has changed everything. i don&#039;t obsess over food anymore. i don&#039;t binge. i know when to say when. it&#039;s like the switch got turned back on between my brain and my stomach. i have very few or lasting side effects. i have had some slight nausea and tummy discomfort but i always have had that so not a big deal. the only lasting effect that i have noticed is hand trembling. it&#039;s annoying but so worth it."
