I just started my 3rd week on contrave. 2 pills in the morning and 1 at night. Yesterday was day 1 of this dosage and I woke up with terrible naseau and vomiting at 1 am. Wondering if I need to reduce dosage for another week. I haven't had any side effects until last night and I'm down 10.2 lbs.

    Maybe check the group section to see if there's a support group for pill users. The general population here ( including myself) don't take any pills and just eat less to lose weight.

    Wow that was rude. I'm sure you know everyone in the "general population" since you have spoken for them. Sorry I can't be as perfect as you. Thought this was a place where I could find some friendly people with same goal, regardless of how they go about getting there. Thanks for your input though. I'll go find some pill popping friends now.

    I don't think that person was being rude, she was just trying to help you find a place where you might find more people with information on your situation. Most people in this section don't take pills for weight loss. That's not a value judgment, it's simply a fact.

    Don't self-medicate with stuff that can have serious side effects. Go to a doctor.

    this.... they were not being rude. they were stating a fact letting you know what most of us here are doing, trying to find the healthy natural way to lose weight.

    It's a prescribed med, so she likely has.

    Yes. :) Try reduced dosage.Check with a pharmacist. They sometimes are more aware of side effects than doctors are.
