"i was terrified of starting contrave due to the bad  reviews &amp; didn&#039;t start for 2 weeks. i am a nurse and also a self-proclaimed hypochondriac. lol. i&#039;ve actually lost 3 lbs to date. side effects for me are nausea/headaches and some jitters here and there, but nothing crazy. i have pretty healthy diet but i&#039;m a major emotional eater/snacker and w/contrave i haven&#039;t snacked this whole week. i had a chocolate cream pie in front of my face, had one bite, and walked away. my kids were shocked. lol. excited to see how contrave can help with my weight loss."
