"i am 52 years old and have struggled with weight loss all my life.  i have tried phentermine and cannot handle the sleepless nights.  even 1/2 of a pill taken at 4:30 am keeps me up at night.  i finally tried contrave with the advice of my doctor and have very few side effects.  i started using this medicine 3 weeks ago and have lost 8 pounds.  (186 pounds to 178 pounds).  i do have minimal side effects of dry mouth and feel a little &quot;out of it&quot; well outweigh the benefits.  i have not only lost weight but no longer crave the sugar i always have.  i am very satisfied! it&#039;s worth a try!!"
