Contrave - Starting With 1/2 Pill In Morning

Updated

Has anyone had any experience with taking just half a pill in the morning to begin with? I have been reading all of the reviews of this drug so would like to know if perhaps taking half the initial dose would give the body time to adjust to it.

Even though they say not to split the pills, my gyne told me to start with a half at night. Didn't have any issues.

You should take the dosage your doctor has instructed you to take. Generally you are supposed to start at a lower amount, and go up gradually over a month, until reaching the known effective dosage.

The FDA warns that this medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, mood swings, and insomnia.

Is there anything else I can help with?
