"i started contrave on 2/17/2017. i&#039;m now beginning my 2nd week (one pill in the morning and one at night) and i&#039;ve already lost 3-4 pounds. my cravings are now under control and i don&#039;t get up in the middle of the night to eat anymore. i honestly feel amazing and full of hope for the first time in a long time. the only thing noticed side effect wise was having a headache and fatigue the first day or so, but nothing since. i&#039;ll update in a couple of months, but i give this medication 5 stars besides the fact that it&#039;s super freaking expensive. lol"
