weight loss
"I kept a log of my first week starting Contrave.  First few days I felt groggy and irritable, light-headed and my hands were shaky.  This is normal for your body to adjust to new medication. This drug has an antidepressant in it. It's going to make you feel weird at first. Power through it. It's worth it. 

After 1 week the side effects weren't nearly as bad, and after two weeks they were almost gone.

I'm on almost two months of this medication now, and I feel great.  I feel like it stabilizes my mood and I don't want to shove food into my face all day. I'm down 15 lb so far mainly doing cardio. The only reason I don't give it 10 is because the price, $90 bucks a month.  Make sure you get the savings card online!"
