I’m wondering if anyone having bad anxiety on Contrave kept taking it and had the anxiety eventually go away. I’m not experiencing any of the other side effects.
Does the bad anxiety eventually go away?

I found the first 2 weeks the worst.. headaches, quick to snap at people and general feeling out of it.

Anxiety is considered a common side effect affecting 1% to 10% of people taking this medication.
If it does not subside in a week, do contact your Dr. and inform what you are experiencing.
