obesity
"I have been on and off this medicine for a year or so and what I've found is that when I stay on it and take it like I'm supposed to, I lose weight and eat healthier.  When  go off I eat horribly but it's honestly more of me going off my diet so I don't bother with the Contrave.  Now I have been taking it faithfully since February 1st and eating low carb and I'm down over 25 lbs.  I think it does really work and it helps me make better choices.  My main reason for this review is to let all of the "newbies" know that the side effects will go away.  I felt horrible for the first few weeks as I was building up my dosage but I have absolutely no side effects now.  Start very slowly and gradually build up to the full dose"
