"i am 56yo woman, 405 lbs (not a typo), 5&#039;9&quot; tall.  i find in thus forum that most people don&#039;t have the amount of wright to lose as i do yet i am hopeful.  i started contrave june  8th 2017 and have lost 11lbs.  soon i&#039;ll be up to 3 tabs/day.  i find that it is helping somewhat yet i still am craving fast food.  i am following a low carb diet with no exercise yet.  i hope that the higher dose will help with the cravings more. side effects for me have been lethargy and some nausea.  i plan on continuing this med in hope that i finally can resolve my food addiction."
