I take Contrave with a little food. If I don't, I feel very nauseous. I've lost 20 lbs since June 29th & I really feel great! I don't take the recommended dose because it's too much. My Dr has ok'd the amount. I take 2-3 pills a day depending on when I take the first pill in the morning. This has worked for me :)

I have been on Contrave since June 29th. I have lost weight by eating healthy & some exercise. With my schedule it's a little difficult to fit in the exercise on a regular basis. After being on 1 pill AM & 1 pill PM since the beginning, I recently added 1 more pill...( it's not all the time though). I am happy with my 20…

Thank you! I'm on day 9 and have lost 4.6 lbs. I'm seeing results & I love it! I eat 5-6 times a day, small meals/snacks at 2-3 hr intervals. It seems to be working. I'm on a low cal/low fat clean eating diet. Absolutely no cravings for sweets or bad foods. Thank you for the advice, motivation, & encouragement. You've…

I'm eating low fat, low calorie foods. I've been on Contrave 9 days & have lost 4.6 lbs. I eat 5-6 small meals/snacks every 2-3 hours. It took me a few days to figure this out, but so far it's working. I eat between 1000-1100 cals per day & I exercise daily. I log in my 10,000 + steps per day. This plan seems to be working…

This sounds great! I'd love to join

I'm on Contrave & YES, you do have to work at it. It's not a quick fix pill either. I have done the exercises and eaten clean & I have had very little success. So, hard work doesn't always work.

I'm on day 6 of Contrave & have lost 1.7lbs. I'm eating very well & exercising daily. Would you please share what you have done to lose your weight? I'm needing all the help I can get. Thanks, Gladys

I'm on day 6 of Contrave & have lost 1.7lbs. I have no cravings & sometimes no hunger, but if I don't eat, I feel nauseous. I have watched everything I'm eating. I'm eating clean foods & I am not exceeding 1200 cals, maybe less. I walk daily about 4-5 miles. I have had some crying spells & some days have been better than…

Search for people who have actually tried it. Sure, this is a public forum, but you want to message with actual users. I am in day 2 of using Contrave. The only side effect I experienced was insomnia, but it wasn't too bad. I'd advise you to take Contrave with food. That worked for me. Good luck!!

Some people, like me, have tried doing it with diet & exercise alone. It gets frustrating. No one wants to be on medication to lose weight, but often times that's the only alternative. Other than my weight, I am very healthy. If I don't lose weight now in my 40's, then I'll be susceptible to all sorts of things, diabetes,…

Very interesting that you are not taking Contrave, but the 2 pills that make up Contrave. I'm on day 2 of Contrave. The only side effect I've experienced last night was insomnia. It wasn't too bad, but I had it. Good luck to you!!

Hi slcooper77, I recently (April 2015) was diagnosed (from gynochologist) with PCOS & was put on Yaz & Metformin (I am not diabetic or pre-diabetic). I had blood work done & all of my levels were normal. I eat pretty healthy & exercise 4x a week. I had lost 3 lbs in a month. On June 9, I went for a 2nd opinion for the PCOS…

Hi, I'm Gladys & I just started Contrave today. I took 1 pill & shortly after drank a protein shake mixed with fruit. I feel good & thank goodness none of the side effects I've read about. I probably need to lose about 50 lbs, but right now I'm shooting for 10. The smaller the number, the easier the goal. I wish you all…
