"i&#039;ve only been on contrave for five days. so far i&#039;ve been very tired but when i sleep, it&#039;s a great sleep and i don&#039;t wake up groggy. my doctor weighed me in at 216lbs but i had on a hoodie, boots, and i was on my period. i always go up in weight on my period. so i stopped my period two days after starting contrave and this morning i weighed in at 207lbs. before my period i had been at 213. so no matter how you look at it, weight has come off. i will update as i go. i gave 9 stars because it has made me drowsy so far, and i haven&#039;t noticed any change in my eating habits. i&#039;m a sugar junkie and that hasn&#039;t changed, but i sincerely hope that it does."
