"i just began contrave on friday march 20th. since then i have not had any significant side effects. a little jittery at times but i also drink a lot of coffee so that could be causing the jitters. i&#039;ve been sleeping great, just as before i started the medication. i haven&#039;t had any more cravings but i am still getting hungry around meal times. i&#039;m being more cautious of what i&#039;m eating and am also keeping a food journal in combination of a med journal...logging how i felt on that day and such. in the four days i&#039;ve been on it i have lost 4 pounds! i&#039;m pretty excited about. still on just taking one pill in the morning. will start taking my evening pill this friday. so far, so good!"
