Contrave - When you eat greasy foods does it make you sick?

When you eat more then 30% fat it causes the contrave drug to melt more rapidly which I assume is why if we eat bad we feel BAD.

Today is my first day on Contrave. Kinda excited... Has anyone notice a 10-15 lbs weight loss within a month of taking Contrave?

Contrave is actually suppose to be taken with low fat foods, if l eat anything fatty, greasy ,fried or cheese it makes me sick to the point where l vomit, l grill , boil or bake my foods and l don't have any problems at all, Good luck!

I just started this medication, I need to lose 45 pounds, the medication give me a light headache, nausea and I feel craving at night, my food include some fat food like avocado, cheese and olive oil, coconut oil, chia and flex seed, my sister in law recomend the air fryer so I am in the process to buy, I am not a fry food person, but in case I want some the air fryer is the better way. I did notice if I don't drink enough water or not eat for long period I do get nausea and lightheaded, one thing I am concern is sometimes I feel very sick and out of breaths, but I don't knw if is because the medication or my heavy weight.
My doctor asked me to avoiding grains, started food, and fruits with higher fruitose
Also since in the morning I am not hungry, I am drinking smoothie or eat a Greek yogurt,
I can't take the pill in empty stomach. This week I am taking, just 1 in the morning and 1 at 5pm.

Yes, high fat meals or food items can cause nausea. The high fat is suspected to eat the coating on the pill and make the medications release quicker into your system. The pills are meant to be time-released. I would be careful about eating high fat items. Especially in the beginning. You can always balance a high fat food with a low fat food. An apple with cheese. Fried chicken with green beans. That sort of thing. Hope this helps!

Hi, nausea is a less common or rare side effect: https://www.drugs.com/sfx/contrave-side-effects.html

I suggest you also read this which is an easy read explaining everything in plain language: https://www.drugs.com/contrave.html

You cannot consume any alcohol on this medication at all, it will make you feel dreadful. It is also supposed to be part of a calorie controlled diet with exercise. Fried foods are full of calories, whereas there are low fat foods which can be more filling and will leave you satisfied; not hungry and empty.

Good luck with it all, I know how hard some people battle losing weight.
