Hi. I'm 5'3" weigh 212lbs! I went to my dr today she gave me a script for both contrave & phentermine and told me to make an educated choice. She's pushing contrave. I'm not to keen on it because of the Wellbutrin (I was on lexapro for 2 yrs and took my last dose dec 6th and had HORRIBLE withdraw symptoms... even though I weaned over like 4 months) I'm afraid of the withdraw from Wellbutrin. Has anyone had withdraw symptoms after taking contrave? What need do people recommend? Thanks for any info!!

What did you decide? I hated phentermine. It jacked me up and I couldn't sleep. It didn't really hit the source of my eating issue. I obsess about food and phentermine is an appetite suppressant. So, Contrave is a much better choice for me. You might want to check a different source (fb) for this question. There are tons of people on there that have more experience with this.
