"i&#039;ve been taking contrave for lmost 4 weeks.  i was ravenous the first two weeks.  i increased as prescribed to the 4 pills per day and have been working out (bootcamp) and watching my food intake.  yet. i&#039;m still hungry and cravings haven&#039;t subsided.   i don&#039;t know how much longer i should stay on this to see if it kicks in.  it doesn&#039;t seem to be working for me unfortunately."
