Contrave/contrave

I've been taking contrave for 4 weeks now (2 pills in morning and 2 in evening) for the first 3 weeks I felt nauseous, anxiety, and heart rate was amped up but all that disappeared at week 4. I did notice a decrease in appetite week 3-4 and I'm also not munching or eating late at night but I still haven't lost any weight! Should I wait it out and see how it works? Is it too soon to tell? I was really counting on this and I feel like my hopes are shut down

Has there been any change? It can take awhile for the medication to reach its full level of efficacy in the body, before you really know how well it will work for you.

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, and insomnia.

Are you also watching your diet and making sure to get exercise? No medication will do everything, you have to do things to help it.
