"if you&#039;re looking for fast results don&#039;t waste your money. i just started my 4th week on contrave, 2 pills 2x/day. i&#039;m not sure if contrave is working for me or not. before starting contrave, i took phentermine for 4 months and lost a significant amount of weight, 50+ lbs. since being on contrave, almost 1 month i have only lost an additional 5lbs, and i excercise just about every day 2x/day. with contrave, you do not have that feeling of being on a diet pill, like phentermine. so that may be part of the reason why i&#039;m questioning if it&#039;s working. i&#039;m not a fan of taking medicine and to me, the contrave tablets are large. also, i feel the need to eat with contrave. i don&#039;t really think it has curbed my appetite, like phentermine. it is $$$$"
