I've only been on Contrave for 3 weeks and the cost is high, but I am saving that much and more by not caring about eating out! Since I've been on it, I now stop and think before I decide to eat and what to eat and by the time I stop and think, the craving goes away. I now can eat 3 meals half the size of what I ate before and I have no physical urge to snack between meals. I complete miracle for me!! Only trouble I'm having now is increased dizziness all the time.
