"i&#039;m a 29 year old female with no preexisting medical conditions. my doctor recommended contrave for assistance with weight loss. i was originally on the phentermine diet pill but my doctor said that pill wasn&#039;t healthy. i was hesitant to use contrave because it was so expensive. i paid $98 for it with a coupon. once i saw that it was the #1 prescribed weight loss pill, i thought it would be worth it. well...i&#039;m 3 weeks in to taking the pill 2x daily with absolutely no weight loss. the first day i was sick as a dog but after that nothing. it has not curbed my appetite at all. i still crave sweets, salty food etc..even more than i did when i was on the phentermine pill which is cheaper.  i feel like i wasted my money."
