I took my first contrave pill this afternoon and within the first half hour I began to feel light headed and very sleepy. I did go to bed and slept 3 hours. I woke up feeling good but once I ate I am again feeling light headed, stiffness in my neck and very anxious. The stiffness in the back of my neck is overwhelming. How long can I expect to feel this way? ## That is a bit odd, since this medication is known to usually cause insomnia, and nervousness, more than drowsiness, according to FDA reports. You may also experience weight loss, and nervousness. How are you feeling, now? Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications? ## After researching the ingredients I found that it contains Wellbutrin. I have had difficulty with that medication in the past. I will no longer be ...

So I officially started Contrave on May 24, 2017, I took my first dose a little before lunch because I had to wait for the RX to be filled. That day was pretty unremarkable, as far as potential side effects and appetite. The second day was my first day at work on Contrave, and I was fairly optimistic because the day prior went so well. I definitely felt “medicated”, I felt slower mentally, but my appetite was gone, the constant cravings, planning of my next meal, and all food thoughts were basically non-existent. Every morning I get a Venti Coffee from Starbucks, and on days 2 and 3 I found that I really didn’t enjoy it, also, I noticed that almost immediately after my coffee I felt hunger for the first time in days, and I also had a dull headache, but both the hunger ...

How long do I need to be off Contrave prior to having a significant orthopedic procedure which I know I will need opioid pain meds for after? ## Hi Cherlyn, The half life of Contrave's active ingredient 'Naltrexone' and its metabolite (naltrexol) are reported to be about 4 hours and 13 min. However for the simplicity of keeping track of time, I'd probably just average it at 4 hours. And you'd probably want to double check with your doctor/surgeon on this - but I've heard from some medical professionals that it can take up to 3-5 half lives for a medication to leave your system. IF this really is the case (and I know everyone is different), 5 half-lives for Naltrexone would add up to 20 hours (or pretty much a full a day). 4 hours is a relatively quick half-life c...

i took lipozene for 5 to 6 days.i ended up in the icu unit at the hospital with resperitory failure.my lungs filled up with fluid, and i had congestive heart failure. my body swelled allover.i was on a ventillator for 7 days in the hospital for 13 days. i strongly urge anyone thinking about this taking this product not to take it.all my drs. feel the same. ## Can I take lipozine if I previously had gallbladder infection?????? though it got healed....or not??? ## Unfortunately, since Lipozene is just a supplement that is claimed to aid in weight loss, its side effects have not been evaluated and it is not FDA approved, thus there is no way to know what side effects it may cause in any given person that takes it. Andrea, are you on any other medications? If so, you should double check wit...

I been taking Contrave since September. I did the one pill the first week...at first I felt loopy, light-headed a little off, but I got used to it and inplus was tired. Started my second pill the next week and I stopped at the second dose...I could not sleep. So I stopped and just continued with the one pill for about 3 weeks with no problems with my sleep, so then I got the courage to start the second dose which is the one pill in the evening...did fine after maybe three days into the evening pill. I would go to sleep but when I wake up couldn't go back to sleep. I was feeling light headed like the feeling of low blood sugar. But I sucked it up and continued with the evening pill. Now I would like to start with the third pill but I'm not sure. The job that I do and with me work...

I have been taking thyronorm 25 mg for the past 3 years and now my BP is 160 -100 most of the time. I wake up in the morning with headaches and pain in my left arm.

I am not sure if i should start these medications, though it is two weeks now and i am taking mukta vati and medhavati. ## I am 78 years old, taking Thyrox 25 for the past one year due to high BP.

where can i find them and are they worth it, are they safe, or is there something better? ## They do have a website, if you do a google search. However, they do not list the exact ingredients, they just claim it is 100% natural. That said, these types of products are not actually proven to help with anything. Does anyone else know anything about this? ## These are a natural product, but a toxic one. T. thevetiodes is the botanical name for yellow oleander, considered to be a highly toxic plant. It is hard to get info on what a dangerous dose is, but there have been deaths. Do a Google search and you will get some more detailed information. ## i have been on them for about 8 months. they work very well, no side effects, except for cleansing of your fat cells. ## how much weight have you ...

I have been on Belviq for about six weeks. I have experienced horrible mood swings, diarrhea (HORRIBLE and NON STOP), actual weight gain, my bones and body aches constantly, I can barely keep my eyes open and lastly, which is the most important.....it feels like I can't breath some times. I have been really working to eat very healthy, exercise when I can due to my body hurting so bad, and drink a lot of water. After six weeks, I have gained 4 pounds!!! I have been struggling with my weight for years, so I thought I would give this a go. I do have a hypo thyroid, but it is controlled with medication. I would defiantly warn people about the side effects. I'm hoping it gets out of my system FAST!! Has anyone else dealt with this before? ## I can't believe that you kept taking ...

I have been on Contrave for 4 weeks now. The previous weeks I had no side effects. Now all of a sudden I have severe nausea, headache, heart racing, dizziness and insomnia. I do not want to continue taking it and I am afraid to stop cold turkey but hate to continue to feel like I do. I had to leave work yesterday because I got so sick. What do you suggest? ## Hello, Tricia! How are you doing? Did you stop taking it? Those are all listed by the FDA as possible side effects of Contrave, along with irritability, nervousness and anorexia. Have you consulted your doctor? Most side effects go away after a month, or so, once your body gets used to the medication, but this might not be the right one for you to take. ## How do I stop taking Contrave? I have been taking it for 4 weeks and have lo...

Hello I have started Contrave and I am on my third week. My eyes do not hurt, but I feel a weird pressure in my face. Sinus and eye area. Is there a way to check if it is causing issues with my eyes. I feel a benefit from the medication and would like to continue but do not want to have serious complications? ## Your doctor should be able to check and see if there is some issue going on with your sinuses, which directly connects to other facial areas, such as your eyes. The FDA warns that many medications can cause such issues as a side effect. Is this the only medication you take regularly? How are you feeling, now? Has there been any change?

Today is my first day on Belviq. I took my 2nd pill about an hour ago, and I have felt no difference in my appetite, energy level, and no side effects thus far. I know it's only my first day, but I was thinking I would notice something right away. What have been your experiences? Did it take a few days to start working? I don't want to get discouraged, but I also don't want to get my hopes up if this isn't going to work for me. ## This medication does take awhile to reach its full level of efficacy in your body, so it normal to not feel an effect immediately. How are you doing now? Has there been any change? The FDA warns it may cause side effects, such as nausea, anorexia, mood changes, dizziness, and headache. Are you on any other medications? ## I have actually now lo...

What can you take for migraines when u are taking Contrave? Can I take Fiorinal / Codeine? ## No, these medications should not be taken together, since the Naltrexone in the Contrave will neutralize the Codeine and the Caffeine could increase the toxicity of the Bupropion, according to NIH warnings. Have you consulted your doctor for any recommendations to treat or prevent your migraines? Are you on any other medications?

I started Contrave on August 1st and was up to full dosage by September 1st. I've been battling side effects, headaches, nausea, motion sickness, insominia and now I've noticed a lot of hair loss.

I'm feeling very depressed. Will my hsir come back does anyone konw?
