I was prescribed Contrave last week, I took a dose on Thursday after eating 3 boiled eggs for the protein, and drank a bottle of water. All was well until about 9:30 am, I wasn't nauseous, but felt like I was so seasick I has to go home. I never go home! I took a nausea pill and slept for 4 hours got up, felt hungover, went to bed at 8 pm and slept 10 hours and still felt cruddy. I didn't take that dose and haven't since, because it freaked me out. I have to be able to function at work. My dilemma is I don't want to waste the $99 plus office visit I forked out and i am sick of being 212 pounds. Has anyone taken it at night instead of morning the first week and were you overly tired, too?
Any one take Contrave before bed instead of morning to alleviate side effects?

I took it every night the first nine days. The vertigo was horrible it started immediately after taking the pill and it lasted all through the next day. I have had to stop taking it. The vertigo is dangerous and I lose my balance.
