"i took contrave for three days and decided to stop because the nausea was too much to handle, feeling as if i would throw up an any moment.  i&#039;m sure it works for some, but these feelings aren&#039;t worth it.  additionally my energy was sapped, it was somewhat counteractive in that i had no desire to work out, i just wanted to go home after work and sleep.  i typically lift three days a week, and cardio twice a week.  i&#039;m not sure where to go from there, but i&#039;ll find something.  i weigh 168 and am 5&#039;4.  i was hoping to lose twenty pounds for an upcoming vacation, not with this drug."
