I need to know how to stop taking contrave. Can I just quit cold turkey or do I wean off? If I wean off how do I do it?

I have had pretty much the same experience except it's not just my fingers that twitch. It's Mt arms, legs, feet, hands, and even my ab muscles. I'm weaning off now. I hate this medicine.

I agree. I have never felt this bad and finally today I just put two and two together after reading and researching more on this medication. I have had headaches, can’t concentrate, constipation, anxiety, easily agitated. Family has noticed a change. I have felt really tired all the time. And tired even when I wake up. Can’t keep my eyes open at work. It’s terrible. I have decided to wean myself off since I can’t stand feeling this way. And I don’t have the patience to wait another month or so for it to be in my system

I started Contrave June 20, 2024. SW: 165lbs GW 125 lbs. It took me 7 months to get to my GW with exercise and meal prep. The side effects had was headaches. nausea, and constipation but it stopped as soon as my body got used to it.

Once I reached my GW my doctor had me take 1 pill in the morning and 1 pill in the evening.
