weight loss
"First Day - Contrave - I have been on Phen/Fen, Weight watchers 12 times, Jenny Craig, Fitness plans, nutrisystem...I was always fit but never seemed to control my weight after almost 40 years of trying.  I have been hypertensive since my 20's and on medicates like crestor, singulair, furesomide victoza and advair, all of which prevent weight loss.  Well after day one of Contrave I lost 2.5 lbs, makes me a little nervous, can feel it working but no side effects like vomiting or seizures.  Making sure to eat with the dose and drink lots of water.  I did notice less cravings for alchohol, I always have my after work cocktail, which I did not want.  Concerned about side affects but keeping it up until I experience non-tolerable reaction."
