Bupropion / naltrexone for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am taking Contrave for a little more than a month. I haven’t lost a pound. This medication is giving me a lot of side effects: nausea, hot flashes, vomiting, and insomnia. The bad thing is that I just refilled a new prescription, which costs me $100. That will be going to the trash... Good luck to those who haven’t experienced any side effects."

Bupropion / naltrexone for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking Contrave Friday, Dec. 11, 2015. Today is the 15th. I took 4 pills a day, 2 in the am and 2 in the pm. Yesterday, I took 2 pills at 4 am, from there it was downhill. I was nauseous all day, restless, and had body sweats. I tried ginger ale, crackers, broth, and water to ease the pain. Around 8 pm, I vomited. Cool. I ate broth, drank water, and had a glass of red wine. At 9 pm, I vomited until 9:45 pm to the point tears came streaming down my face. Finally, around 12 am, I fell asleep. It's 4 am, and I'm up writing this. After reading other comments like mine, I have similar side effects. After this, I will pray for strength to control my own mind without medication to lose weight!"

Bupropion / naltrexone for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started Contrave 4 days ago. Day 1 was okay, I felt slightly dizzy. On Day 2, I had the worst stomachache in my life, and I vomited 7 times. Day 3, I had the same pain and vomited at least 12 times. Today, I feel no side effects because I did not take it. The doctor asked me to stop the medicine and suggested trying Belviq."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I wanted to write this review because I have taken this medicine for two days. The first time, I was so sick that I threw up several times. I took it at night and was up most of the night sick. I was going to quit, but after reading reviews, decided to try one more day. I took it again last night and slept all night. I woke up early and felt better. Today, I have been a little queasy, but not too bad. I am going to keep taking it to see if it gets better. I am not having any food cravings and have been able to eat really healthy today."
