obesity
"I am 5 ft 9 starting weight 263. I was originally taking phentermine and topamax for weight loss. I did loose on that but those side effects are worse. It made by blood pressure and heart rate sore! My sister-in-law started taking Contrave, with good results. At first, I was nervous about taking this medication because of a bunch of scary reviews. I did read enough positive I gave it a try. So glad I did. I did have the headache,  it was pretty bad, almost made me stop. I took something for the headache and it helped. That did take about 2 weeks to get through. I do not have any other bad side effects. Not even dry mouth. I will admit, it wasn't doing much for my weight till I started taking 2 in morning and 1 in afternoon. Weight 242 now."
