I've been on Contrave ER 8-90mg Tablets for a few months now, and I've had a mix of positive and negative experiences. Anyone else using contrave? I've found that it really helps with controlling my appetite and cravings, which is great for weight loss. Contrave combines naltrexone and bupropion, and it's designed to target the brain areas that control appetite and cravings. However, I've also experienced some side effects like headaches and nausea, which can be tough to deal with. I've read that it can sometimes cause more severe side effects, so it's important to be aware of those. I've been meaning to ask my doctor about some of these symptoms, but I've been too busy to schedule an appointment. Has anyone else experienced serious side effects that they had to get medical help for? I've also wondered about the long-term effects of taking this medication. Is it something you can stop taking or do you have to be on it for a while to actually lose the weight and keep it off? Any advice is appreciated.
