"i am 21 years old, have struggled with my weight my entire life and have never been able to lose weight until now. for context i have pcos and virtually no metabolism so even when i was an athlete, eating well and working out up to 4 hours a day, i was still heavy. when i started contrave i weighed 210lbs, it has been around 4 months and i am down to 184lbs. for the first time it feels like i am getting result with the same things i&#039;d been doing for years, i didn&#039;t change the way i eat i just ate slightly less, and keep a relatively moderate exercise schedule and the weight practically melted off. the only side effect i had was cotton mouth but hey, good way to drink more water, and even that went away once i was up to 4 pills a day."
