Contrave For Weight Loss

What pain medications are safe to take on Contrave? I have been taking Tylenol arthritis and glucosamine daily and am now starting the 2 and 2 this week. Also large hard to pass stools, so I'm taking laxatives as well, but don't want to harm my liver. I feel great on Contrave. I was on Adipex and all it did was make my mouth very dry and make me agitated.

Hello, Lisa! How are you?

Contrave contains Bupropion and Naltrexone, the latter of which neutralizes opiates, such as Oxycodone, and Hydrocodone. So, you can take Tylenol with it, unless your doctor instructs you not to do so. Glucosamine is considered to be a supplement, so any possible interactions between it, and most medications, have not been studied extensively. Is your doctor aware that you are taking it?

Whether or not a laxative is safe can depend on the ingredients. Which one do you usually take?

The FDA lists the typical side effects for Contrave as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood changes, and anorexia.

My question is, is it okay to just always take 2 pills of Contrave for weight-loss, 1 in the AM & 1 in the PM? Or do you have to take the full dosage for it to work?
