Contrave And High Fat Foods (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I ate a high fat meal (stuffed baked potato) tonight and am wondering when it is safe to take my evening dose of Contrave. All the warnings say is do not take with a high fat meal. Well, how long do you have to wait? There is no information on that! Has anyone heard?

I asked my dr for nausea medicine. I take it with every dose of contrave I take. It’s made 100 percent difference

I have been on contrave for two weeks and one day. I am up to two pills in the morning then One at bedtime. Can I just stop this medicine cold turkey. I havent lost any weight and feel awful all the time. This isn't the medicine for me. But will it hurt to just stop? Thanks!

Hi Bonnie, does age play a role? This is my third day and I am nauseous and dizzy...I take it with food and it just doesn't help.

I actually took my medication with a high fatty meal and ended up in the bathroom for awhile. It will definitely make you rethink and I dont think a baked potato would count for high fatty meal.

Hi. I ate a high fat meal before reading these and realizing it was a bad idea. About to start week 3 and had not eaten a high fat meal until yesterday. I had a burger that had bacon and fried onions on it..... I payed for that. Really bad headache and nausea. I hadn't really had much side effects before that. On the positive side those symptoms will definitely make me think twice about eating like I used to!

Re: Carlene (# 17)

I know this is an older post but hopefully it gets back to you. I find taking Bonine, which helps with nausea a little bit before I take Contrave helps me a lot. I space my pills out so the side effects are not so bad.

Sad... I am on day 2, I have had eggs both days but haven't had any issues but I guess I will rethink my breakfast now, I don't want any complications.

I have been on Contrave for a week now. I am doing the keto diet! I did use to much oil one night and got all blowed and kind of sick. But besides that I have felt fine. You just have to eat good fats like cottage cheese, avocados, not fat fat like greasy high fat hamburger! Or that cooked fat hanging off the roast! I am down 8lbs for my first week! Drink a lot of water!
