Hello, Jessie! How are you?

The main issue is going to experiencing some withdrawal effects, since Contrave contains less Bupropion, but your doctor should be able to help you make the switch. You may need to do a taper, before starting the Contrave.

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

Has anyone else made the switch? If so can you detail how it was done?
