Any advice for someone who is considering taking Contrave?

I've been on Contrave for 2 months, have lost 19 lbs and feel great. Fortunately, the only side affect I've had is constipation if I don't drink at least 8-10 glasses of water. I have switched to Bupropion/naltrexone combo... much cheaper. On my 3rd day and so far so good. I am still interested in food, but have more discipline. I'm able to pass up the things I shouldn't eat. I am satisfied sooner. I don't feel as hungry or tempted to binge. For me this has been great.

Remember, Contrave is not a miracle drug. By itself, it will not make you lose weight. What it DOES do is help you stick to a healthy eating plan. It reduces your appetite. You get full faster. You have some unpleasant reactions when you eat something greasy or high in fat (have a bathroom nearby!). So it encourages you to change your behavior -- eat less, eat more healthy. I've been on it about 5 weeks and I've lost 8 pounds.

Today is my third day. I feel pretty good. I had a horrible headache yesterday and was nauseated. I think it's worth a try. I tried Phentermine and it made my heart rate go sky high.
In my short 3 days of taking Contrave I can say that food isn't as incising or rewarding. I kinda feel like the pleasure of eating is gone. I just eat because I'm hungry.

When I started Contrave I did not exercise like I should have been because I wasn't eating very much. Well I didn't lose a pound, and it was over a two week period. The minute I stepped on a treadmill the weight started falling off. So for me I have to do some sort of exercise. Even if its only 30 min. I'm 5'2" and started out at 141 lbs. I weigh 127 now.

I am also going to be starting Contrave this Tuesday! Yes I believe it is a chance for both of us! Good Luck!

I've been on contrave for 7 days and I feel great! I did my research before taking it and I do feel it is worth giving it a try. Contrave seems to be the best long term weight loss pill out there. I tend to eat when I'm bored as well, or if im watching tv. I started to meal prep so when I do want to snack I have healthy options. I'm trying to retrain myself and focus on my heath, when I want something bad I think is this worth it? And it's not. My heath and happiness is worth more than candy or pizza. I hope this helps. Please feel free to ask any questions you have.
