obesity
"Update: 2m 6d on Contrave and nearly all of the side effects are gone. I have lost 22lbs so far: 5'6.5" tall; starting weight 229; today's weight 207; goal weight 156. Have gone down approx. 1-2 dress sizes. If you can stand the side effects in the beginning, try to power through. Those should go away and the results are worth it. I have more motivation for both weight loss and everyday activities. I tapered up my dose slower than prescribed and I think it helped me better adjust to the med. Make sure to google "Contrave drug interactions" before starting, as there are quite a few serious ones. ScaleDown has also helped me evaluate day-to-day choices and realize it's time to make better ones."
