I'm wondering the same thing. I started June 13th, 2016 and it's been 5 days. Day one was awful, dizzy, blurry vision, vertigo, I was worried about passing out, trouble concentrating, cloudy thinking. It has gotten better over the days. I still have a dull headache, slight blurry vision, and in and out of cloudiness. I'm wondering if this is something I'll have to live with if I continue to take Contrive long term. I think I am going to very slowly increase my dosage, maybe by half pill increments. Have you stayed on it. How are you feeling now? I do find that it has helped with nicotine, alcohol, and food cravings. So for me now, good out ways the bad, and I'm hoping the side effects begin to diminish.

I have been on it since February and I feel great now, but it took about two weeks for the side effect to go away. I am down 44lbs, so it was worth what I had to go through.
