Contrave

teresadutton

This is the newest diet aid to hit the FDA market. I am wondering if anyone is taking it and if so what is your thoughts on it? TIA

I am personally against diet aids. But I wanted to say your transformation pictures look awesome and congrats on losing 40lbs! If you've done that without diet aids, keep going without them

I started taking it this week. First night I threw up and was up all night dizzy and puking. Decided I would give it another try and the next day got a bad headache and felt like throwing up but didn't. 3rd and 4th day I'm fine and side effects are gone. You have to start out slow. 1 pill in the morning none in the evening. Then week 2 , one pill in morning and one in evening. And so on. We will see if it works I guess.

Why would anyone subject themselves to this?

Lack of understanding of proper ways to reduce weight without the use of drugs, desperation.

I think anything that causes vomiting and dizziness should be avoided if at all possible.

Vomiting is second on my list of Things I Hate Most In Life, dizziness being third.

OP, don't do this.

Nausea and vomit are listed as side effects on just about every drug out there, lol. Look up any of them and there is a good chance that nausea and vomiting will be on the list.

I don't take any pill that I don't need (except Vitamin E.) I'm not adding a weight loss pill to the mix. However, I can lose slowly without the pill. If I were desperate and pretty healthy, I would probably try it.

Good luck to all! I hope it helps.

OP, Your progress pic is great. You look like you are working your way down the scale just fine. How did you lose the weight you've already lost?


The pill may work but so does eating right and exercising.
