obesity
"I started Contrave on Monday, and it is now Saturday.  I have lost 4.8 lbs.  To me, that is absolutely amazing as I am hypothyroid and have not lost more than a pound or 2 in the last 8 years!  I am praying that this continues to work.  I want to lose 50 lbs so I can be around to watch my children grow up.  I have been so miserable for so long and felt nothing would ever help me.  I am loving this drug.  I am struggling with a few side effects: dizziness, racing heart, and trouble sleeping.  The dizziness goes away when I drink water, so I think my body is just keeping me hydrated.  The racing heart is usually when I sleep.  I will talk to my doctor about that.  All in all though, I now have hope which is more than I've had in a long time!"
