obesity
"This is my 3rd day on contrave and the side effects are what are worrying me. Severe nausea comes and goes throughout the day. Sometimes it gets so bad I can't even get up and move around. I have also had sporadic hot flashes and excessive sweating. The worst side effect I saw it was on the first and second day hello when I would have terrible drowsiness to the point where I had to hold my eyelids open just stay alert and aware of my surroundings. I'm not going to stop taking the medication but I'm worried because my doctor prescribed for me to increase a pill each week until I am on 4 pills a day. I'm a female, 25 years old, 5'3 & weigh 253lbs. Is this too intense of an increase? Suggestions are appreciated."
