"hey guys checking in with you all about my weight loss journey. i&#039;ve been on contrave a little over a week. i&#039;m taking one in the am and 1 in the evening. my starting weight was 220. i weigh in this morning at 217.3. the side effects i&#039;m having is fatigue, dry mouth and headaches. this medication is suppressing my appetite. i&#039;m having to force myself to eat and stay hydrated. at this point i&#039;m not sure if i should continue to titrate up since taking 1 pill twice a day is working. i seem to be going in the right direction with my weight! check in with you all next week :)"
