Hey … I was wondering if anyone has taken Contrave and what you're experiences are… I'm 15 months post sleeve surgery. Lost 111 lbs at my 1 year mark and have gained 18 in the 3 months since. Dr is recommending the drug. Looking for any feedback.

I just got on them I am looking for questions and answers my doctor recommend contrave for me to because I gained 25 pounds

Is there any out there that's taking the medication contrave

I am still pre-surgery but my doc tried me on Contrave in Sept. For reference, I am 5'10" and BMI was roughly 36/37 at the time. I lost about 20 lbs in 2 month and then bottomed out. No other weight could come off. So I stopped taking it. And then I gained about 10 lbs back. When I saw the NUT for the first time she was asking about my previous attempts at weight loss and she told me that in her experience, the drugs are only effective while you are taking them. Afterwards, most people will put the weight on. She thinks I was in a stall and it might have pushed the weight farther down if I had waited longer (I waited 3 weeks before stopping).

Should have also stated that it DID make me nauseous when I started it, but the nausea subsided after the first week or two.
