weight loss
"Have <20 to lose with elevated a1c. Started mid-July with Weight Watchers and upped exercise. Have pre-existing but treated Grave's disease. Was intrigued by Contrave because of potential to help me quit my smoking habit as well.  During "build-up phase", I lost 2-4 lb. I can only say I had dry-mouth which I rectified using Biotene.  I made sure to eat before taking it (as directed).  NO notable difference the 1st 4 weeks. Many times I was famished between doses, so I lost and gained the same weight and no reduction in smoking.  At my 1 month follow up, my Dr. urged me to stick with it another month.  Shortly after I noticed I went from 4-6 cigarettes per day to barely 1 + my appetite has lessened.  Jury still out...but there is hope!"
