weight loss
"I've been on Contrave for a year now I'm down from 155 to 128 and still losing.  Initially there was slight nausea, but eating something small with morning dose alleviates this.  Have stopped smoking, finallly, after 25 years, have also quit drinking alcohol within 3 months of starting on Contrave. I will be 50 this month. This med has changed my life.  I was trying to drink and smoke myself to death. All of those cravings are gone.  The only side effects are constipation and sleepiness.  I counteract these with a stool softener and caffeine,"
