"i started taking contrave aug 2017. as of sept. 14 2017 i&#039;ve lost two pounds. i haven&#039;t been exercising like i should (even just walking would be good) but i am a little disappointed. i did make it up to the full dosage of two in the morning and two at night. but i felt so horrible during the day with nausea and medicine head...just really uncomfortable, so i am only taking one in the morning and two at night. i will say that my cravings for sweets and the like have almost disappeared and i no longer want any alcohol. i&#039;m going to give it one more month to see if it makes a difference in weight....we will see."
