Contrave Doesn't Work For Me

I have been on Contrave for 3 weeks. Since I have been on it from day one I have been extremely hungry. I want to eat everything. I am starting to have pain in the joints of my hand. I have gained weight being on this drug. I am writing this so that others will know if they are experiencing the same thing this drug is too expensive not to work. I paid 339.00 for this drug to help me lose weight and so far I have not seen any improvement.

Unfortunately, no medication can be guaranteed to work, regardless of its price tag.

Additionally, some medications have been known to cause the opposite of their desired effects in some people that try them.

However, the increased appetite, and weight gain are not typical side effects, according to FDA reports. Typical side effects usually include nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, depression, anxiety, weight loss, and others.

Are you on any other medications? What does your normal diet consist of?
