Contrave Stopped Working Week 4 (Top voted first)

I am finishing up my fourth week on contrave. The first two weeks were pretty brutal with all of the terrible side effects. But my appetite was definitely diminished and I did not have the urge to binge eat. Now that I am on week four most of the side effects are gone but I also don't feel like contrave is working at all. My appetite is almost back to normal, I think about food all the time. I'm pretty disappointed. Has anyone else experienced this?

REPORT

Yes, most people do report experiencing a period of time where it seems to stop working, for a brief period, but then starts again, after a few weeks. (This is going by user reports as posted online.)

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

How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?
