I have been on this medication for 1 month now. Taking 2 am and 2 pm. I have an extremely dry mouth and throat. Did anyone else experience this? Does it go away?

Dry mouth is considered a common side effect that affects 1% to 10% of people taking this medication. By now it should have subsided, I suggest you inform your Dr..

Bupropion / Naltrexone
Medication
Naltrexone/bupropion, sold under the brand name Contrave among others, is a fixed-dose combination medication for the management of chronic obesity in adults in combination with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. This does not seem to be for dry mouth!
