"i started contrave about 3 weeks ago.  to say that it works for me would be an understatement.  i noticed the drug working the very first day that i took it (despite what my doctor said.)  i&#039;ve never been on any prescription meds, so maybe that is why it worked so well for me.

for lack of a better term, i finally feel normal.  i do not crave sweets all the time, &amp; have not snacked at bed time once while on contrave. i eat till i&#039;m full then stop.  i notice that i only get hungry twice a day, so i find that i have to eat more than i want just to eat my minimum calories. i had one hard cider in 3 weeks, no craving for alcohol, even when i went to a tiki bar. no side effects.

will this drug make you lose weight?  no.  you have to want it."
