Nausea And Nasty Taste In Mouth,post Gastric Bypass Failure
UpdatedI have been on Contrave over one month. I was so nauseous that I cut down from four pills a day to three,2 in the morning and 1 at night. I am still experiencing nausea,thinking of trying Dramamine. The " grazing" during the day has completely disappeared. I have lost a few pounds, so it's going very slowly. I also had gastric bypass 10 years ago and started to gain again in the last 5 years. Sure hope Contrave will continue to help,though the nausea seems to be winning at this point. Also have ringing in the ears. The nasty taste in my mouth is disgusting. Kind of like a metallic/ bitter taste. It's a reason why I cut down to 3 pills a day and have to say that did help!

Those can be normal side effects of the medication, according to FDA reports, but typically such issues go away with time, as your body gets used to a medication, however, that may take 4 to 6 weeks. Other side effects may include gas, bloating, increased thirst, and constipation.
How are you doing, now? Have things gotten any better?
