"restarted contrave after taking for one week then got sick with a bad head cold. on my second week and i&#039;m was down 10 pounds but gained 2 back. could be pms...not discouraged. it has made my &quot;eyes bigger than my stomach&quot;. i work 12 hour night shift and there&#039;s always snacks. i would snack throughout the night to stay awake. now i barely graze and i&#039;ve been craving a lot of fruits and salads. hoping to get some relief from the side effects...very sleepy, mild dizziness and i have this heaviness in my stomach after i take the pill that gets resolved after i eat something that has carbs (fruit, sandwich, crackers and cheese or a cup of soda). it almost feels like a hunger pang. fingers crossed. my doc is happy"
