"i started taking contrave decmber 8,  2017. i have a very stressful job and sit pretty much all day.  my weight is a problem and i need to lose around 120 lbs total.  today, 2 and 1/2 months after starting contrave, i am down 28 pounds!!! i no longer crave chocolate and i don&#039;t eat unless i&#039;m hungry.  i haven&#039;t started a set exercise plan yet, have just been modifying my eating/sugar intake.   first month or so, i did not experience any negative side effects.  have recently had some issues with constipation but i added back my morning cup of coffee and that has helped :)  also have experienced a little bit of dry mouth but that helpes me drink more water, which, is a plus.  overall i am very happy with these results!!"
