Hello, i have been taking contrave for 5 weeks with a 1200 calorie diet and exercise and i have lost 25lbs. I have had little side effects that were in the beginning but have subsided. Just wanting to know if anyone else is taking this along with Scale Down program?

    Hi sandra3318 - I just started taking this med and yes tinascar2015 i have read all the safety info online and given to me by my doctor and my nutritionist. i have experienced the anger/higher tension/ short temper issues and this scared me and i was ready to stop but i know this is temporary and I hope to work through this.

    I am glad to hear that you have had success with this drug - my doctor said she only wants me to take this for two months so we will see.
