Contrave and scale down

I have recently started contrave and I have major headaches. Any suggestions if this lasts? I do have high blood pressure but it's controlled with low dose of meds. Today, my blood pressure was normal. Should I persevere with head aches or give it up. I just started the 1 at evening.

One of the side effects are headaches. You should ask your prescribing doctor.

Headaches are very common. I had a strong headache the first week and then for a day or so each time I increased my meds. I suffer from migraines but these headaches never went there. They do go away, or at least mine did.0

I should say that I went to the full dosage about 2 weeks ago and I havent suffered those headaches since.0
