  • Sorry this is so late. With my insurance I pay $20 a month
  • Sorry it took so long to answer. I am on the full dosage. But I had very few side effects. Some mild stomach cramping and constipation, which has basically passed and I sweat a lot more.
  • It is classified as a "Lifestyle drug" which might me I'll have to take it forever or until I don't need it anymore and have my eating under control. I will say that I am very far from my goal weight so at the moment this is not an issue
  • Ditto. I am eating a quarter of what I used to. I am just less hungry with it, but it's still up to me not to eat garbage.

  • Love it. Lost 55lbs in 4 months. I always ate well, but I just ate SOOOO much. Not anymore. Eat maybe a quarter of what I used to
  • Did I write this? I have been on Contrave since July 14th. As of Nov. 23rd I've lot 55 lbs on it
  • Until I started on Contrave I chose to eat. Now I don't
  • So I went to the doctor yesterday, and for the 4 months I have been on Contrave I have lost 55 lbs. I'm not going to get my hopes up and assume that it's going to be that way forever and that by the end of the year I'll have lost 165 lbs. But I have to admit that I have been half-assing my exercise & I'm kicking myself…
  • I believe that Contrave is for people that are morbidly obese. When I was prescribed this I had at least 200 lbs to lose. I am sure that there are many psychological factors the drug works with to curb eating, but I can tell you that it does physically make me less hungry. If it's tricking my mind into telling me I'm not…
  • I have been on Contrave since July 14th. As of today I have lost 55 lbs. I would not have been able to lose that weight without that pill. I could not even begin to care what someone else thinks about me using Contrave. As long as it is not physically damaging me I will continue to take it. Some people need this, some…
  • Started taking Contrave on July 14, 2015. As of today, November 23, 2015 I have lost 55 lbs. 30 lbs in the first 2 months and 25 lbs. in the second 2 months. At first I had some stomach cramping but that went away fairly quickly. I do sweat more, but I don't feel any hotter. No headaches, no nausea. I eat about a quarter…
  • I started on Contrave on July 13th. When I last weighed myself at the Doctor's on September 14th I had lost 30 lbs. The drug has changed my life. I am eating so, so much less. I have more energy. I am not hungry ALL THE TIME like I used to be. I have over 200 lbs to lose and I need this. I eat well and exercise but I could…
  • I love it. I am eating maybe a quarter of what I used to. I have 2 egg whites for breakfast and a fruit smoothie, during the rest of the day I snack on some fruit because I am just no hungry enough for lunch and at dinner I have at least half of what I used to eat. I have more energy. My clothes are looser. It has…
  • I started it mid July and as of Sept 13th I lost 30 lbs. I never had nausea. I had some mild constipation, some pretty hard stomach cramping and I am sweating like a snowman in hell. But it is working great for me
  • I have been on it since mid July and as of Sept 13th I lost 30 pounds
  • I'm not looking to start anything with anyone, this is simply what it has done for me. Before I started taking the pill I was hungry, literally, all the time. I ate well and I was active, but the volume of food was the problem. About 2 weeks into taking it the pill started to work. I am considerably less hungry. In the…
  • Can someone tell me what the weight capacity is on the Scale Down scale they send you?
