"I was taking the phen phen when my doctor said that he would rather me try Contrave.  I will say it's not the doctors fault all of the side effects and issues were listed on the brochure.

I took the pill for 2 weeks with no help from the pill I ended up in the doctors office and a trip to the E.R. due to itchy, all of my joints, face swelling, headaches, dizziness and after taking Styroids and Benadryl for 2 weeks I am still having headahes, itchy and chest tightening. I wanted to let all know because I am one not to have reactions to pills or foods but with this one I did.  From what I have been told if you are going to have the reactieon it is about 2 weeks into taking the medicine. Benadryl is needed if these reactions start up."
