"i have been on contrave since 6/9/15 and have lost 30lbs.  i exercise every day, at least 45 minutes of walking.  i had minimal side effects that started with nausea after increasing to 2 pills in the morning and evening, but that diminished within a few days, other than that i have had mild constipation.  love this medicine.  it&#039;s helped me to steer clear of snacking, especially chocolate.  i have at least 35 more lbs to lose to be where i want to be.  i will continue with contrave because to me, it is amazing!  good luck to you all !!!!"
