"i&#039;ve been on contrave since march 10th. lots of side effects in the beginning, but they mostly have subsided. i am only dealing with extreme dry mouth. i absolutely love this med.  not only does it control cravings, i eat less; make better choices; and my impulses and anxiety is under control. i&#039;ve lost 20lbs so far. it&#039;s pricey, but worth it."
