Getting Ready To Start Contrave

Hubby and I will be starting Contrave next weekend. The med is over $200 but we both work with the City so our Health insurance covered most of the cost and then our pharmacy used a $10 coupon so it's costing us $70. Looking forward to sharing results. Hoping I have the same or better results as when I took Phentermine. I was on it for 6 mos and lost 68lbs. Because of long hours on my job I couldn't exercise but was very strict and stayed on an 800 Cal diet. What is everyone else doing/eating?

Hello, Rosie! How are you?

I just want to make sure that you're aware of some of the possible side effects of Contrave, as listed by the FDA, you may experience nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, insomnia and anorexia.

Can anyone that's on it chime in to answer her questions?
