"i am 11 days into my diet/contrave. i have lost 13 pounds. the only side affect i have experienced is dry lips. love it! i am only at two pills a day. i dont have the cravings i used to have. with the prescription card you get when you sign up.. brought my prescription cost to $70 a month. which i have already saved in food! i was a donut and soda morning person. no longer feel the need for the sweets or soda! also don&#039;t use the vending machines at work. huge savings!"
