obesity
"I have been on Contrave since July, 2015.  I have lost 57ish pounds.  This medication is very effective for my food issues.  I have obsessed about food for a long time.  It has removed that obsession.  You do have to do work, the pill is not magic.  I exercise, drink plenty of water and log my food.  I currently limit my calorie intake to 1400 per day.  I have hit plateaus - but the funny thing is that my clothing sizes still went down - so I think it was my body adjusting.  I did have some of the side effects initially.  I had dry mouth, was dizzy, hot flashes and had headaches.  They all went away in the first two weeks.  I have to tell you that the medication would be worth it if the side effects continued."
