"i am about 65 pounds overweight and decided to ask my doctor for a diet supplement to assist with weight loss. because of the medications that i was already taking, contrave seemed like the best weight loss supplement for me. the first week of taking this medication i lost 4 pounds and was very excited. however, my excitement was short lived. i did not lose any more weight during the entire two and a half months that i was taking this drug. i exercised, modified my diet, ate smaller portions and nothing seemed to help. the only thing i did get from taking contrave was a bad case of dry mouth."
