"after reading all the reviews i was kind of skeptical about taking contrave but decided to try them anyways hoping for a positive experience. i started them on monday august 21 and felt fine the whole morning then about 1pm that day it went nothing but downhill. i had nausea,vomiting, headaches, flulike symptoms, light headed and ears ringing. i could not do anything but lay in bed i felt so bad. this is day 3 and i still have the headache and not feeling 100%. some of the reviews  said to try and stick it out at least a week but after the reaction i  had these pills are going in the trash, i just hate the fact that my insurance didn&#039;t cover so i am out of $99!!"
