Has anyone been on contrave and it didn't work. This is my third month and I lost 4lbs. I noticed my cravings are gone and it sometimes curbs my appetite but that's about it. I also see a nutritionist and work out 2-3 a week. Just wondering what people's results were or weren't. Thanks in advance!

    I have been on Contrave for about two months and I have lost 20lbs. It has curbed my appetite and I don't crave sweets like I have before taking. The highest dose I have taken is (8-90mg ER) 2 in morning and 1 at night. My doctor wanted to see how I did before going to 2 in am and 2 in pm. Have you spoken to your doctor and also are you eating enough? If you are working out and not eating enough your body starts trying to hoard calories.

    Contrave is a tool to help you create an energy deficit by eating less and moving more.

    If you where hoping to just take it and not make any changes you will be very disappointed.
