"i&#039;ve been on contrave for right at one month.  the first week and a half i experienced extreme dry mouth, but easily fixed by drinking lots of water.  after first week, i also started with constipation.  colace rectified the problem, but working with dr for a better solution.  around third week, i started experiencing the mild headaches.  mild as in i knew it was there, but it didn&#039;t interfere with my day.  

i&#039;m feeling great!  my appetite has decreased significantly, and the joy i get from eating (which is what caused the problem in the first place) has diminished.  i have the energy to get up and move throughout the day.  i&#039;ve lost 10 pounds, most of which came off the last week.  hoping that means it will start coming off quickly."
