"i&#039;m a 43yr. old female started at 202lb 5&#039;3&quot; on march 12. i have almost completed week 7 and i&#039;m at 177lb. all the side effects are gone except occasional nausea when i don&#039;t eat or drink enough. i haven&#039;t exercised at all but my normal daily activities have increased naturally with the added energy from contrave. i&#039;ve slipped and ate foods outside my diet plan but contrave has stopped me from over indulging in them."
