"i have been on contrave for 2 weeks. i take 1 pill in the a.m. and 1 pill in the evening. so far the only side effects l have experienced are excessive sweating and dry mouth. these are minor considering i&#039;ve already lost 5 pounds. i did have some eye twitching after i started taking 2 pills a day. overall i am thrilled with the results. i will be starting two pills in the a.m. today. i am anxious to see how well it they work."
