For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I first started taking Contrave last year. I lost over 35 pounds, and I never had any problems with taking them. But this time, I just started 2 weeks ago. After my one pill for a week, I started feeling anxiety. I just started caving in, and I can't catch my breath. When I got on the two pills in the morning and one at night, I did it for two days, and then I had to stop. I've been off of them for a week now, but I really want to lose weight. I'm 38 pounds overweight, so I started them back 2 days ago, and I started back on just one pill a day. I've noticed the heaviness in my chest is coming back. Should I continue taking these pills?"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking it about a month ago, very similar experience to many on this thread: nausea, weird dreams, anxious. Developed an abscessed tooth. Had to stop taking it because the antibiotic intensified the nausea. Have lost about 6 pounds, have less appetite, but not sure I will continue because of the nausea and anxiety. I thought the Wellbutrin was a mood elevator, I haven’t experienced that at all."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I took Contrave for 3 weeks, and it made me shaky and was always dizzy. I had to come off it as I had a bad experience and now suffer from anxiety and constant dizzy spells. This drug is not healthy."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Tried it for a few days - just the one in the AM. Nausea. Gas from the sulfur pits of hell. The runs. Stomach pain. Jittery. Sleepless. Of course, I am not eating much. But. No. Just. No."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am on day 3 of the ramp-up, 1x2 daily. I cannot sleep, my head is fuzzy. Is it lack of sleep or the medicine? A bit jittery, but I am not hungry."
