weight loss
"I am 59 and about 40 pounds overweight. On Contrave 1 week. I hated the way I felt the first 3-4 days - lightheaded, couldn't sleep (interesting others felt sleepy) and at times felt jittery. Also had a few hot flashes. I pushed through it and still not sleeping well and some nausea at day 7. I can tell it takes my mind off mindless eating and grazing but still pretty much able to eat a good meal. I did lose 2 pounds in 1st week so that is good! I am trying to decide whether to just stay on the 1 a day pill vs stepping up to second pill a day. Not sure if side effects will increase that it will be worth it."
