I have reached a plateau, would discontinuing contrave for a month then start over with it help? Lost 23 lbs first 3 months and now after 2 months have lost zero but I have not gained either.

Hello, Sooz! How are you?

Most people have reported having a plateau phase, but it eventually starts working, again. Thus, you should continue taking it, as prescribed, unless your doctor instructs otherwise.

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

Is there anything else I can help with?
