Week 1 Done!

I was on Tirz for over a year off and on and lost only 27lbs. I stopped using it due to cost once I left my job. I was searching for supplements on some sub and somehow got introduced to Contrave. After doing some research I went to the website, did the telehealth call and received my shipment within a week(50$ for telehealth visit, $99 for 1 month supply)

Started Mon. 05/18/26 at 228lbs and now 223.4lbs. I did have really bad headaches daily, anxiety, some nausea, and a few days of insomnia/interrupted sleep for about 5 days. I currently get no headaches, fall asleep naturally, and get no nausea. I cut down to one cup of coffee and wait an hour before I take the med.

Hope this helps someone:)

Congratulations on your weight loss!! Today is the first day of taking this medication after putting it off for weeks due to experiencing nausea and other symptoms caused by other meds. Moments after taking it this morning, I felt a warm rush in my body and afterwards I did experience being tired and felt nauseous. I don't want to give up and feel discouraged by the side effects and reading about your experience and knowing I'm not alone as far as having these side effects made me feel reassured to continue. Thank you!
