obesity
"I've been on contrave for about 7 weeks now. I've lost roughly 33lbs. In the first month I easily dropped 20lbs. I eat less than 1400 calories a day, but I am extra aware of what I put in my body as to not be unhealthy- lots of protein, steamed veggies, and staying hydrated. All that being said, I will say the side effects were murder for me. I had/have pretty much all of them on the list of possibilities. Nothing that I can't handle though, nothing overly severe....I just wouldn't call it a 'fun' experience. I exercise regularly, but the majority of  my changes have been to my food. It pretty much takes away superfluous hunger, so I only eat when I truly need to. I'm so happy to have found something that works."
