"i am on week three of contrave. i&#039;ve had some side effects with the drug including feeling short of breath and a little ore anxious then normal not all the time but more than normal. i had nausea the first day. i have had headaches off and on. i have lost 7 pounds but with the side effects i&#039;ve been experiencing i&#039;m no longer going to continue the drug. feeling anxious and short of breathe is just not a good combo .. if i wasn&#039;t experiencing these things i would applaud the drug for it has stop my appetite."
