"i&#039;ve been on contrave for 5 weeks now.  i need to lose about 40lbs.  i&#039;ve lost 5 so far.  the first week i felt high as a kite.  2nd weekend nausea. 5th week in i still horrible bouts of dizziness, nausea but the worst is the fatigue.   a few days ago i had to pull my car over driving home from work as i fell asleep at the wheel!  to give you some backround on me i&#039;m 45 yr old female, non smoker,  i work out at the gym 4 times a week, in general fairly healthy.  this being said it discourages me how this drug makes me feel.  it hasn&#039;t even killed my appetite.  i still crave.  i eat a little less but it&#039;s not the miracle drug some users have reported.  the nausea, extreme fatigue, dizziness scares me. don&#039;t think i can handle contrave anymore"
