"hello, i am here with an update. as i mentioned before, i started taking contrave 10/16/17 at the time i weighed 237.8lbs. today is 10/26/17 i now weigh 229.6. so within 2 weeks i&#039;ve lost 8.1lbs. as with the side affects, i&#039;ve had slight headaches, a little nausea, hot flashes, and a bit moody at times. i don&#039;t crave for junk foods or sweets as much as i used to, however i am still working on that. i really haven&#039;t worked out much at all since taking this medication, but i plan to this week since i&#039;ve been doing so well without working out. i know if i work out i would have better results. i will update you in two weeks after my follow up doctor&#039;s appointment."
