obesity
"It's been exactly 2 months since I started taking Contrave. I am a 46 year old woman who started out at 274 lbs. I have lost 37 lbs and now currently weight 237. I used to binge eat a lot and lived a very sedentary lifestyle. I thankfully did not have any side effects other than about three nights in week 3 where I had a difficult time sleeping. I make sure I drink 16 ounces of water when I take my pills as I had been told this helps with nausea. I was surprised that within 2 weeks of starting I no longer had constant cravings for chocolate and other junk food. I also started off at 5 minutes every night riding on my bike / elliptical machine. I now average an hour 5 nights a week and sleep better than ever at night. I love this medication!"
