"i&#039;ve been on contrave for 3 weeks. it&#039;s expensive, even with the downloaded card. i started the 4 pills/day yesterday. today i had my follow up appt w/my dr. &amp; i gained 3 lbs  :(  contrave has not suppressed my appetite, i crave carbs like crazy now. my dr. gave me another prescription for 3 more months depending on how i do with the 4 pills per day.  i&#039;ll continue with the contrave for the remainder of the month &amp; hope that with the full daily dose, i&#039;ll begin to benefit from contrave.  i truly hope something works!  i&#039;m going to restrict my carbs and try to fight the urge."
