"i have been on contrave since nov 1st. i have only taken 1 pill in the morning the entire time i have been on it. i was worried about the side effects so i never increased the dosage.  i can&#039;t tell you how much i&#039;ve lost but i can tell you i&#039;m down two sizes.  i had nausea in the beginning...i have had sleeplessness, constipation was probably the worse, but that subsided.  i am now suffering from the bad taste in my mouth ...nothing seems to taste right.  i don&#039;t have cravings, my appetite is suppressed, i am struggling with the time to exercise, but im trying to do better. i am trying to just stick with it. any one else have these same feelings, effects??"
