Contrave side effects , week 3...

I'm on my third month taking Contrave, and yes, for me the side effects lessened significantly a week after I started taking the full dosage (week 5). The first 3-4 weeks were the worst for me and i didn't experience any weight loss until about week 5. From what I've read some people start losing weight immediately but that wasn't my experience... perhaps because I was already eating healthily before I started the medication. I started at 190 lbs and now I weigh 165 lbs. My goal weight is around 140-145 lbs and I plan to continue taking Contrave until I reach my goal. However, if you are feeling severe anxiety or suicidal thoughts definitely talk to your doctor because Contrave may not be the best option for you.
