"i have been on contrave for 3 months and i have lost 26lbs. wow. i struggled after having my daughter who is now but was superfit before i got pregnant. the fist couple of days i felt a bit off but that subsided quickly. there is no &quot;magic pill&quot; so you have to want to lose weight and try. this medicine has helped curb my appetite and i make better choices, drink more water, and try to get more steps in per day .  i&#039;m 36yrs and have another 25lbs to lose. hope this helps."
