Comparing Contrave vs Qsymia

For Obesity I am 56yo woman, 405 lbs (not a typo), 5'9" tall. I find in thus forum that most people don't have the amount of wright to lose as I do yet I am hopeful. I started Contrave June 8th 2017 and have lost 11lbs. Soon I'll be up to 3 tabs/day. I find that it is helping somewhat yet I still am craving fast food. I am following a low carb diet with no exercise yet. I hope that the higher dose will help with the cravings more. Side effects for me have been lethargy and some nausea. I plan on continuing this med in hope that I finally can resolve my food addiction.

For Obesity Female age 40 height 5'2 305lbs. Started Contrave on 3/29/17. Week 1 I lost 6lbs!! Now 299lbs. I am pre diabetic and my doctor put me on Metformin. This was a BIG wake up call for me. I feel mentally ready to do this. So far symptoms have been nothing bad a few stomach cramps, food taste blah, a little nausea but only when I don't drink enough water. I do go to the bathroom more often about 4 times a day. I don't have cravings and I feel full. I have changed my diet big time, no carbs, fish and lean meats, lots of eggs, tons of water and small snacks throughout the day. I feel good, no tiredness like others that I read. I will continue to update weekly, I feel this will make me accountable and it may help someone who is like me struggling.

For Weight Loss I have only been taking Qsymia low dose for 4 days but so far, my cravings for food in general have significantly dropped. I am 40 years old, 5' 5" and weigh 208lbs. I have struggled to lose weight for the past ten years. But food is my emotional crutch so it's been hard to maintain any sort of healthy diet. I was a smoker and when I decided to quit, I used Chantix and it helped stop the cravings and made quitting smoking very easy to do. I have been smoke free for over 3 years. When I heard about this, I was excited because it sounded like it worked similarly to how Chantix worked. It suppresses a part of the brain. What part, not sure, but in the past four days, my desire to eat has decreased tremendously.

For Weight Loss I've been on it for 6 weeks, lost 30 pounds already another 100 pounds to go!
