obesity
"I started Contrave on December 16 weighing 274. I am 5'5".  I have done every diet out there, with varying degrees of success. As of this morning, I have lost 32 pounds. My only side affects were queasiness for the first day and dry mouth which I don't mind because it reminds me to drink water. Within a day or two, I felt better than I had in years. I could actually move easier and without as much stiffness. I am not sure that the medicine is as effective now as in the beginning, but now I am in a routine of what to eat, how much, and how much to exercise. If I exercise 4 days/wk (stationary bike for 45 minutes/11 miles) and eat right I lose about 3 pounds per week. I still eat out occasionally, but just eat less. Very happy."
