"i just started contrave and friday will be my first full week. day one started out a little scary but that was to be expected because i didn&#039;t know how my body would react to this medication. well let me just say to everyone awesome sauce! so far i feel wonderful. i use to take phentermine and it just had me all over the place. i started drinking more alcohol which made me gain more weight. with contrave i don&#039;t drink anymore alcohol (literally i don&#039;t crave it) no more sweets and i have a much better mood going on which is awesome! i lost already, not even being being my full week around 4 lbs. which is great! i don&#039;t want to eat on contrave but i have to force myself. i will continue my follow next week"
