Contrave Possible Side Effects?

I've been taking contrave for about four months, and haven't had any side effects after the first three weeks except possibly for one: it seems like I have a men's tail cycle every ten days or so. My hormones are normal, thyroid is fine, and OBGYN sees nothing that would cause it. I saw irregular menstration listed as a possibility, but it's WAY down on the list. Has anyone else experienced this on Cintrave? Did it go away?

It doesn't matter how far down the list it is, it is still a possible side effect that one may experience, when taking this medication. Some may be more or less common, but there's always a possibility of experiencing any of them.

It is listed as having been experienced by 0.1 to 1% of women that have taken it according to the FDA, while that may not seem like a high number, that still encompasses a lot of people.

Have you considered trying an alternative medication to see if your menstrual cycle goes back to normal?
