"i&#039;ve been on contrave for just over 8 weeks now.  i never experienced any of the side effects.  i also have not lost any weight.  i don&#039;t feel any differently about food and can&#039;t say i feel any less hungry.  i am so disappointed and frustrated.  today i called contrave to ask about the scale down program.  i learned it involves getting a free smart scale.  you can keep the scale but after 90 days if you want to keep the &quot;smart&quot; function you have to pay for the service.  i also told him that i had not lost any weight and he said this is an &quot;adverse effect&quot; and that he needs to report it as such??   a colleague of mine uses this product and has great success."
