"so i&#039;m on my third day of contrave. my doctor is having me take my first weeks dosage at night time so if i do experience the side effects a lot of you are talking about on here, she said i would probably sleep through them. tonight is the first night i&#039;ve stayed up, but nothing. a little rumbling in my stomach, but nothing bad. i have a mild case of dry mouth, but nothing to extreme. i have noticed that i don&#039;t want sugary things. i went to the store today and bought healthy foods because i wanted to. the craving for food hasn&#039;t completely gone away, but it has dramatically declined and at least now it&#039;s a craving for healthy food. and, i can not get enough of water."
