"i started contrave on 10/23/17.  i felt very dizzy and nauseous within minutes of taking it.  i continued it for the 1st week and still felt the same.  i lost 6 lbs in the 1st week.  i stopped taking it for a week due to the side effects.  i just restarted it again today, still feel dizzy and sick.  i&#039;m going to try to stick with it and hope the side effects will go away."
