Starting My Third Week

Billy Says:
Contrave is working great for me, right now I'm taking one in the morning and one in the evening. Having dizzy spells for the first couple hours after taking it and experience some nausea. Lost 13 pounds so far. Can I just keep taking just one pill in the morning and one in the evening? Seems to curving my appetite fairly well.

Hello, Billy! How are you?
You may be able to do that, if your doctor approves of your staying on the lower dose. However, they may not want you to do so, because many people tend to eventually hit a plateau phase, so the higher dosage may be necessary to keep encouraging weight loss.
The FDA lists the typical side effects of Contrave as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia and nervousness.
Is there anything else I can help with?
