obesity
"I started Contrave on 1/14/15, I have lost 42lbs as of 5/22/15.  As of today I will be voluntarily stopping the medication due to quality of life.  I am ecstatic over the weight loss but the severe constipation and side effects of the prescribed stool softners, meds for dizziness, and daily vomiting has come to a point that it is no longer worth it.  My PCP and I have tried to address each issue and I am on a total of 4 daily prescriptions, a stool softner, nausea meds, vertigo type med and the Contrave with a monthly total of $208.00 just to be able to take this medication, and I am still to sick to function normally.  Other than my ability to tolerate the side effects this medication did suppress my appetite and aid my weight loss."
