"i started on contrave april 1st doing great. started out the day with coffee with alot of creamer...craving completely stopped no more coffee for me and no sugar cravings. changed a lot of my eating habits and walk at least 1-2 miles a day. third week in and i&#039;ve lost 8lbs!!!! increased to 2 pills in the morning but my blood pressure began to elavate so had to discontinue the meds. dr said i can just continue on lower dose."
