obesity
"In the first 3.5 weeks I lost 12 lbs.  My doctor said it could be an anomaly and not to be upset if the next 5 weeks don't show this type of weight loss.  The first 2 weeks I felt no different and then it kicked in and I stopped thinking about food and my appetite really decreased.  Side effect is constipation for which I take a Metamucil and it is working. My total weight loss since being under doctor care is 38 lbs. I was on another med, but broke out into an uncontrollable itchy rash and had to stop.  I encourage people to keep at it (Contrave) because it does take time to see any difference/results."
