"i have been on contrave for 3 weeks. i am 5&quot;5, at 155 pounds. i think i have only lost 2 pounds. i work out with a personal trainer 3x a week and usually take long walks for other days not with trainer. my doctor recommended this prescription for me because i sit at a desk 10 hours a day and am typically very hungry and unable to stop my snacking. so far, i still crave foods. not sure when the &#039;appetite supressant&#039; part will kick in, because it still has not done that. i have not noticed much differences so i will give it a little more time (until i finish the entire bottle supply) before asking dr. to change me to something else."
