"i am only on day one of taking contrave but i thought i&#039;d write a review anyway. many people experienced severe side effects right away, but i took contrave with food and drank about 2 cups of water after and continued to drink water all day i feel completely normal after about 24 hours. i just wanted to put that out there for people who are considering giving it a try. will post again next week. i got a coupon from my doctor for the cost, but it is still going to be $90 a month. very expensive but hopefully worth it."
