I am on day 10, I have yo-yo’d the same 3lb. As per my usual habit, so I am frustrated & thinking this is not going to work for me. I have noted dry mouth & occasional nausea. Controls appetite fairly well. I am perimenopausal & I eat fairly healthy & workout 5 days a week. I am already frustrated with this med. I also see that in reading these threads, most people have some kind of dose adjustment? My instructions are one tablet each morning & nothing else? Thoughts? How long does this take to “kick in”?
How long does it take to start working - Contrave?

Day 10 is a little early to see results. I went until I was taking 2 2xdaily before seeing anything. Combining with a 5:2 lifestyle diet was a big help. I lost 25Kg in 2 years. The drop was not linear but went through several ups and downs and plateaus. Good luck
