obesity
"I started Contrave 11/11/2015 so today would be the end of week 9. I have lost 22 pounds. So that is about 2.4 pounds a week. I have also been eating a healthier diet...south beach. I have not felt deprived and have had the energy to exercise regulary. I have added in workouts 4-6 days a week alternating between run/walk intervals 1 min each for 3-5 miles, 45 minute spinning classes at home through an app called Peleton, and Hiit style workouts as well on tapes. 
I am impressed with the energy and focus I have been able to be successful sticking with it. 
I have not had many side effects....I did try the full dose of 2 in am and 2 in pm at week 4. After a week I was feeling slight chest tightness so backed off to the lesser dose."
