    Contrave is not a supplement, it's a medicine. A little confused by your title versus the question you asked which seem to be disparate.

    A better question would be, do you not trust your doctor enough to do what they say without asking perfect strangers for advice that may or may not be educated to a level anywhere near that of your doctor? If the answer is yes, you may need to consider changing doctors.

    "not need comment" - you post in a public forum - you'll get replies, whether they are needed or not needed, liked by you or not.

    "didn't have any advise" - he did provide an a advice, a very good one, I might add.

    There is nothing wrong for validating doctor's opinion, but when you post on a public forum, you got to be prepared to take good, bad, and the ugly.

    The first week I started eating clean and drinking lots of water I lost about 5 lbs without a pill. Now that is great and all but, I'm not sure I would attribute it all to the pill. Your body stores alot of water if you are eating a ton of sodium like most Americans. The first week could easily be you losing that extra water. You would really need to compare it to without the pill to know.
