"i have been taking contrave 6 months.  i have lost 65lbs total.  it did take a few weeks to fully take effect as expected.  i did experience some sleeplessness so i moved up my second dose to late afternoon and the problem went away. 

i think these diet drugs have different levels of effectiveness on different people.  i tried belviq and it didn&#039;t do anything for me but i know people who have had success with it."
