"i have been taking contrave since  feb, 2016. male - 63. i have lost 25lbs. so far with little to no excercise. 327 down to 302. the only side effect i noticed was a little nausea in the first week, but it went away after that. i have not suffered any other effects as in testimonies from others. this product does block the hunger feeling and the full satisfied feeling. i watch what i eat, reduce  portions, and have cut out most carb consumption. i will be taking walks soon now that winter is over. i recommend contrave, however as it is stated in the product information, this may not be for everyone. the side effects described concerned me in the beginning, but i have confidence in the product now."
