I started taking Contrave in early October 2019. I started with the intro dosing recommendations. Since I noted no adverse effects with the beginning low dose, I accelerated the dosing schedule to get to the full dosing a little sooner than directed. Taking Contrave has helped me adhere to a low-carb and intermittent fasting plan. It eases or blunts the edgy hunger pangs so I am less tempted to snack outside of my scheduled eating times. As of this writing, Nov 24, 2019, I am down about 20 lbs in about 6 weeks. I would also add that I believe the buproprion has improved my mood (going through menopause) and the naltrexone component has made alcohol less appealing. Along with starting back with the gym, I plan to continue taking Contrave so as to lose another 20-30 lbs.
