"just started 2 pills in the am and two in the pm. no side effects besides dry mouth which is tolerable. i don&#039;t see people saying how great this med makes me feel. i feel lighter and have a bounce in my step. i&#039;m finally showing a 5 lb loss on the scale and that excites me.  i wish less people had bad side effects because those reviews almost scared me from trying this med. i am glad i decided to try contrave. please keep in mind this is a long term solution to obesity so expecting overnight results is unrealistic. i plan to continue for a year at least. good luck."
