"i&#039;ve been on contrave for almost 4 months, lost 23 lbs.  doctor wants me to lose at least 40 - my goal 45.  up until 2 weeks ago, only side effects, dry mouth, constipation, and craving for chocolate, which i never had before.  those effects went away.  now i&#039;m experiencing nausea, and dizziness and tired.   it could be the possibility of not drinking as much water as i did during the warmer months.  i&#039;m going to see if it makes any difference.  i thought maybe decreasing the dosage may help.  then i saw someone write about bonine and how that helped."
