If I could figure out how to roll me eyes on here I would. Did I mention that those who judge and critique are a big part of the problem.....

I agree that pills don't make you lose weight, but they can "help" provide the resolve and the fortitude to stay on task to achieve a goal. This pill is not burning the calories for me, I wish it were that easy. I understand your statement about calorie deficit and losing weight but it is so much more than that. It is…

I think I have maxed out on the easy loss, down 50,7 lbs today, but it is definitely getting harder. I have had a few fails lately in the willpower. I wish I could go off the drug for a month and then back on so I could feel the overwhelming effect it had on me in the beginning.... How has everyone else been doing?

No extreme diet here, but my dr is pretty conservative. He will just be happy that I am losing weight. I don't know your medical situation though, me....I am not to the point where the wait was affecting my health..."yet".

2 in the morning and 2 on my way home from work. I wake up more at night now than I did pre-Contrave, but overall feel much more focused in the morning. No grogginess at all here.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to debate the origin of constipation, I just know that more things than drugs can contribute. Wasn't trying to offend.

Hi Gladys, I am on day 58 (I think) of taking Contrave and as of this morning have lost 13.6 % of the weight.

Great Job! I just hit 13% today. The loss is definitely starting to slow down, so I am having to work much harder at this. If I can avoid travel and restaurants this would be so much simpler. As far as the constipation goes, I have read this on several other posts. I don't look at it as a side-effect of the medication, I…

Hello CassieS2784. I am at full strength and take 2 in the morning and 2 when I get home in the evening - all together. If I didn't do that I feel like I would miss a dose and that might really foul things up. Great job on the 6 pounds, it's not easy, but the medicine taking away the hunger feeling really helps.

Hello Kallston89. I wanted to encourage you to continue Contrave as long as you aren't feeling the side effects. I have been on the program since April 29 and I am approaching 10% loss....already! That's 30lbs on a big guy, which means I have a long way to go....but I attribute losing that first 10% to the drug. I hope my…

I saw the post on Contrave and wanted to jump in. I began using Contrave and the scale down program on April 27. The medicine can make you feel a little skittish at times, but I attribute a lot of that to my change in eating as much as anything. Since beginning the program, I have cut out all carbonated drinks and my…
