Hello, Christina! How are you?

The FDA does list a warning that combining Lithium with Contrave may cause seizures, so it would likely be best to double check with your doctor, before taking it. Side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, insomnia, and nervousness.

Has anyone taken this combination?
