"i am 32yo female 5&#039;5&quot; and went in weighing at 205. i am an athlete, however i am hungry all of the time. i actually feel hungry all the time, and the inner dialogue was always about food. i have been on contrave for 2 weeks and 2 days. i have lost 6 pounds and the inner dialogue is becoming less and less everyday and the hunger is gone. it is a miracle. i will say that i did have a headache for 3 days when i went to 2 pills a day. yesterday i started 2 pills in the am and noticed that when i eat after taking it my stomach cramps something awful. after about 30 minutes the pain produces a bowel movement and i am fine. i would much rather have this side effect than the headache or nausea. i am anxious to see how i do on the full 4 pills a day"
