"contrave is effective for my  &quot;brand&quot; of overeating, which has a stress &amp; emotional component.  my doctor really listened to me when i described my problem to her and she said she thought i was a bit depressed, eating a healthy diet, but just too much of it.  six weeks into taking contrave, i have so far lost 15 lbs.  i feel able to focus on my diet, and feel well. i have not been able to increase the dosage as rapidly as recommended as it caused me some dizziness when i first added the 2nd dosage.  i stayed on the single dosage for 5 weeks, and was able to up the dosage to 2 tablets/day this week. i take advantage of the savings card &amp; scale down program.  feeling positive about my ability to continue to slim down and get healthy."
