Plateau After Losing 38 Lbs (Top voted first)

I've been on it since last July and have lost 38 lbs, but I hit a plateau about a month ago. I am trying to limit calories and walking 3 miles a day. I just seem to be getting very hungry in the evening again. Am I immune to the contrave now? It is costing me $60 dollars a month now. My insurance doesn't pay for it.

The same thing is happening to me it's coming up on a year and I feel like it really doesn't do much is there a high dosage you can take.

Hello, Cheryl! How are you? Has there been any change?

You're not likely resistant to it, already, most people taking it have reported hitting a plateau period for anywhere from a few weeks to a month, before it started working for them, again.

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

Is there anything else I can help with?

Where do you get it for $60 a month. I got 100 pills for $233 and that was with insurance.

Where can you get it for $60 a month? Mine is a lot more than that and that's with insurance.

I started taking contrave for almost two weeks now. I'm losing weight, and my cravings are very much in check. I was just wondering, how long would I be able to take contrave? How long have any of you been taking it?

I’ve been on Contrave for almost a year now. I lost 30lbs in 6months. However these last 6 months I’ve stayed at the same weight no matter what I try. I know people plateau on the medication for a while but is 6months normal??

If you've been on it for a long time the company that makes contrave grandfather's you in, with a discount card. Sounds like what you're paying is full price or close to. If you go on to contrave. Com on the website you can download a discount card and it shouldn't cost you any more than $115 for a hundred and 20 pills per month
