weight loss
"Been taking Contrave for 5 weeks, so just hit the max dose of 2 pills in the AM and 2 pills in the PM at week ago.  I've lost  6 pounds.  I had some side effects - feeling very foggy and tired for the first 3/4 days but then cleared up.  I still get tired in mid-afternoon, but nothing I can't handle.  

I've had to cut back to 2 pills in the AM and one pill in the PM due to extremely dry eyes and mouth.  The reduction in dose doesn't seem to have impacted the effectiveness of the medication.     

I had some trepidation about how effective Contrave would be for me because I don't meet the criteria for a binge eater.  I'm more of a stress and boredom eater.  But I have a reduction in craving even when my favs are available."
