Yes. I started contrave and at my 3rd week i started bleeding, like a period type. But the issue here is i already went through menopause over 4 years ago. I also read other women reported a rare cancer. I'm going to go get checked next week.

Oddly my period was very light last month. No spotting, but I am normally a heavy bleeder. I actually googled it to see if it was related to Contrave. I couldn't find anything, but seeing your post made me think maybe it is??? I have an appointment with my doctor next week, and I will def ask.
