"i have been taking contrave for 3 weeks. i am now on 2 pills in the morning. i am constantly hungry, growling stomach and actual pains.  i still have cravings, especially chocolate. my insurance does not cover the cost of this medication and i am not sure it is worth $140 per month. for 60 pills. i might try it one more month, but i&#039;m hungrier now than i was before i started using it."
