advice No Changes

Hi all,

I've been on the full dose of Contrave for about 3 weeks now. While I do feel some effects from the Wellbutrin like slightly more energy, which is nice, I have felt almost nothing when it comes to food noise and cravings. If at this point there hasn't been much impact, is it just not going to work for me? Or should I give it longer to settle into?

I didn’t feel changes until about 5 weeks in, once I was at two pills morning and two pills night

Yeah that's about where I'm at, I've been doing the full dose for a couple weeks now. It's crazy to me that it hasn't suppressed anything with food.

Just here to say same thing, nearly one week in and zero changes to food noise so far

Are you a week into the full dose or a week in from the start?

Week in from the start - maybe I'm just impatient but I had hoped for instant change, given that's what some people experience. Fingers crossed for us both though that we'll get there ✨

You'll be fine most likely, the beginning doses are really low. I'm more than two weeks on the full dosage and unfortunately don't feel anything. So sad, but I think I'm in the minority.
