obesity
"I began taking Contrave February 2015.  To date (August 2015), I have lost 47 pounds.  This medication is by no means a 'wonder drug'.  You MUST work to lose weight through proper diet and exercise, however; this drug gave me enough of a mental boost to actually want to be active and exercise.  I started off very slow, only 45 minutes of walking about 2-3 times a week.  Over time I have increased my activity level to 5-6 days a week with varied types of exercise.  Prior to taking this medication I didn't identify myself as someone who ate emotionally but having been on it for several months and reflecting on my past behaviors, I was eating during emotional times.  I can not say enough positive things about this medication!"
