Contrave; Is anyone else taking it ?

So I officially started Contrave on May 24, 2017, I took my first dose a little before lunch because I had to wait for the RX to be filled. That day was pretty unremarkable, as far as potential side effects and appetite. The second day was my first day at work on Contrave, and I was fairly optimistic because the day prior went so well. I definitely felt “medicated”, I felt slower mentally, but my appetite was gone, the constant cravings, planning of my next meal, and all food thoughts were basically non-existent.
Every morning I get a Venti Coffee from Starbucks, and on days 2 and 3 I found that I really didn’t enjoy it, also, I noticed that almost immediately after my coffee I felt hunger for the first time in days, and I also had a dull headache, but both the hunger and the headache faded.
During these first few days on Contrave, my desire for food was completely…..gone. I had what I would call a “mourning” period; there was such a night / day response to the meds that it was a shock; I had a mix of emotions. I was happy I was free from obsessive food habits, but I also kind of felt like a friend died.
Anyhow, still going strong 6 days in, and 9 lbs. down, not really hungry now that I know that sugar triggers hunger, and I am keeping those headaches away with a tiny amount of honey when I feel one coming on (I find that the honey is just enough natural sugar to make the hypoglycemia headaches and nausea stay away, but not enough to make me hungry.
Best of luck!
