"i am on day 4 of contrave and i have lost 2 pounds already. i worked the last 3 days and take on average 8500 steps in my 12 hour shifts. that&#039;s the only exercise but i literally ate nothing this weekend. i had a coffee with my pill for breakfast and a monster energy drink for lunch and drank water,  which is my norm anyway, but i have absolutely no want or need for food on this pill. side effects which started immediately on day one include crying and kind of a foggy feeling. this is a major downer for my mood but i have suffered depression for the last 20 years so i don&#039;t know if it&#039;s that or the contrave. hopefully my mood will pick back up as my body gets used to the new meds but if it doesn&#039;t after a few weeks i may have to stop taking"
