"i started contrave on dec1st at 213 lbs. it is now march 22nd and i have lost a total of 38 pounds! i can&#039;t say enough about this medicine. i did have some side effects at first. dry mouth, anxiety, slight headache but nothing to keep me from taking it. actually the first 2 weeks i felt amazing! i will continue to take contrave and hope to reach my goal of another 30 pounds. also i have noticed that i can&#039;t take any other meds while on this medicine, not even tylenol, makes me sick. but other then that i love it."
