"i have taken contrave for two months and have lost 10 pounds. it has reduced my cravings and i do not over eat or binge as i did prior to taking contrave. my willpower is very strong now and i feel satisfied after a meal. in addition i feel so much better. i am off the couch and doing chores and activities again! 
the drawbacks are i do seem to have an increase in dry mouth and it is $90/month after insurance coverage. however i was spending more than $3/day on poor food choices. 
i would recommend contrave."
