I've been taking Contrave for 5 weeks, I have neither lost nor gained.. I don't see a difference in?

I've been taking it for two and a half weeks and have zero side effects. I've been watching what I eat and exercising and only lost one pound. I'm already frustrated but will stick with it because I'm a fighter plus my insurance doesn't cover so it's almost $200.00 a month ! It's way out of my budget but my family is helping until I get back on my feet after gruesome divorce. I hope this works for all of us!!!

I've been taking contrave since January and have lost 88 pounds, I had a hard time at first with some of the side effects, constipation, dry mouth etc. for me I could not eat or drink when I first started taking it. My Dr. Had to lower my dose to 1 in the morning 1 in the evening. My Doctor told me that he's seeing about a 70% success rate with Contrave. Better than any weight loss drug he has ever prescribed, but he also said there were people like you that have not lost any weight at all, and eat the same way as before they started taking the drug. The nausea will go away once you cut back on the eating, I was nauseous when I tried to eat the way I was eating before I started taking Contrave.
Good Luck, Contrave has changed my life for the better. Started out at 328 pound today 240. In March I started walking and now walk about 5 miles a day, I could not walk a 100 feet before.

I have been on Contrave for 1and 1/2 months I started May 9th 2015 and I lost 18lbs effective today 6/22 Now this is how I lost the weight on this Medication Breakfast I eat a Quaker instant Oatmeal Packet the Protien one , Lunch I eat a Michaelinas $1.00 Frozen meal with Protein For Lunch I eat a Salad/ Chicken or a Smoothie for Dinner I drink a Gallon of Water Daily and I walk 1mile 3days a week I snacked on Hampton Peanuts and Fruit in between I stopped eating after 6:30pm and Yes I did Scale Down I have No side effects... You cannot eat a big meal and expect weight loss I take the dose of 2 pills AM and PM and My Dr is so Proud of my Success..

I have been on a combo of Topamax and Adipex along with a 1,000 calorie meal plan. In nearly five months, I lost 24 pounds. Doctor switched me to Contrave. In 2 weeks I've lost 4 additional pounds. Not nearly the success as with the above combination. I went full strength at once due to the fact that I already took Wellbutrin prior. I have not had any side effects as described by other posters.

You are the first person I have came across like me. I have been on it since March 29th 2015. I too have neither lost not gained. I am working out & for the most part making better eating decisions. However I have still binged from time to time. Just not as often as before. What is your current situation? Do you get extreme headaches if you miss it?

I have been on it for over a month and not only have I not seen any loss1 have gained 2lbs. And worse, the scale they sent falsifies loss, gradually showing a decline in weight. I thought I was doing well and then put my old scale . alongside theirs and found a 12-15 lb. difference.they are faking results!

I have been on Contrave for about a month and am taking full dosage. Mostly I am so nauseated I don't want to eat. I hope that the drug doesn't make you lose weight that way! I do find that when I finally force myself to eat something, the nausea is abated for a little while.

I have been taking for about 6 weeks now. No change in appetite for me. Kinda bummed about it because I was hoping once I was on full dose for awhile I'd feel at least a little less hunger. Not giving up on it though. Hopefully now that holidays are over I will do better. I know that when I am stressed I eat whether hungry or not

Week 4 - I'm not really seeing or feeling any difference. I'm so hungry all the time!

I'm nearing week 7... Headaches and nausea still continue, though the nausea is somewhat better.I have been doing the scale down program now for a little over a month, I don't like to weigh everyday either. For me weighing in everyday is more of a bummer because I'm not seeing any significant difference in the number, where when I weighed weekly seeing a few pounds gone was more motivating but that's my personal experience. I had some really good results with phentermine a total loss of 35 pounds, my doctor thought it was time to switch things up since I had plateaued, after 7 weeks still at a plateau...

This is week 3. 2 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. I get up at 3:30 and I try to take the first dose around 4:30. I can say that I sleep well at night. I didn't sleep much on phentermine.

I feel extra hungry this week. I Hope when I start the full dose that my appetite gets back under control. I did sign up for Scale Down. My scale arrived today. It weighs a little heavier than my Aria scale.

I've been taking Contrave for almost a month. Same here..not much weight lost.
Are you signed up for scale down? I'm not a fan of weighing myself everyday.

I have had similar issues, some mild nausea, mild headaches, maybe slight loss of appetite but nothing too profound. Not sure if any of these symptoms are related to this drug or just seasonal/holiday stress related.? I have been on for 1 month now and first couple of weeks actually felt a little bit more hungry.

I am on bupropion one of the two drugs in it. I'm not on it for wgt loss, and have been on it for 2 weeks. So far there is no change in my appetite.
I'm hoping if I am on it longer it will go away. Unfortunately for me, if a drug causes loss of appetite, it won't for me. We havent' had too many people talk about contrave yet, but everyone is different and what works for one won't work for another
