"i&#039;ve been on contrave for 6 weeks now and only lost 3.6 pounds. i had horrible side effects. i was constipated and had major pooping problems. and i mean major! i experienced some nausea, but nothing too serious that i couldn&#039;t handle. i would get really hot and sweaty through out the day and it was sometimes uncomfortable. 
i&#039;m really disappointed in this medication. i really thought it was going to help. i&#039;ve been stuck at 260 for about a year and i thought this was going to get me over this hump. i work out with weights 6 days a week and run 2 miles daily. i&#039;m going back to the doctors tomorrow to see what&#039;s going on."
