I'm 60 and just started contrave today. I'd like to hear from others 60 plus about your experience with the medication. This is my first experience with a wright list medication. My dr began discussing taking the pill with me over a year ago. I was hesitant bc of side effects. I've recently been placed on BP medication and thyroid. I'm 203 lbs and 5'4. I'm also prediabetic. It is bc of these developments I finally decided to give it a try. I exercise moderately 5-6 times a week. Steps of 10,000+ or stationary bike 30 min. Take my calorie intake pretty consistently. I just haven't lost any weight.
As I jab read taking this Med with food helps. That's the way I began and I am focusing on small meals throughout the day. This was another tip I read about.
This first day I do feel some lightheadness. Nothing to bad so far. Any tips or recommendations are welcomed.
