obesity
"I started Contrave for the first time in July. I have PCOS and the doctor wanted me to try something that would help me lose the weight I gained from it. This wasn't his first choice but my insurance wouldn't cover any of the other medications and it was the only one I could afford out of pocket. I was only on it for three weeks because I was really sick from it. I was nauseated, tired and it gave me really bad headaches. It became too much so I decided to stop. I did lose 5lbs but I'm not sure if it was from the medicine or from being sick. I started again and only taking 1 pill. I still have headaches but I'm not as sick. I would take something else if I could but I'm doing what I can to have the ability to have kids when I choose."
