"i&#039;m in the middle of my second week of contrave. the first day i had an odd feeling and a bit of nausea but water and half of a sandwich was a quick fix. i decided to move my dosage up a couple of days early to avoid any issues with weekday work hours so i increased my dosage on a sunday. i&#039;m glad i did. the nausea came back on the first day of my dosage increase so i treated it with water every time i had a sour feeling in my stomach. the water helped and when it didn&#039;t i would have a half of a sandwich or some soup. i started my two in the morning and one at night today. i found myself picking at my easter dinner and refusing dessert altogether. i&#039;ve lost eight pounds in 16 days without trying."
