"i&#039;ve been on contrave about a month - started the four pills ( 2 am, 2 pm) this week. i have definitely suffered the nausea and dizziness. it has definitely curbed my cravings - mostly because i feel too nauseous to think about food or drink. i&#039;ve lost a few lbs, but not sure the side effects are worth it for me. i&#039;m going to continue a few more weeks and hope the new dosage settles in and the side effects lessen."
