Bupropion / naltrexone
weight loss
"I am only on my 3rd day of contrave, but since I was already taking half of the med, I was able to start at week 2. First evening, right away I noticed no desire to eat, no preference for food. I've been eating only because my stomach growls, and I am eating very little. I only had upset stomach.
My situation is special circumstance. I am not overweight. I cannot exercise due to chronic pain condition. And that is why I have to stop. As noted, the naltrexone's primary use is to block opioid receptors to help people with addiction. It's blocking my pain meds, so I'm in excruciating pain. Contrave seems to work, but kind of scary, if something happens and you need pain meds at a hospital, contrave blocks a lot of the pain med relief, for me."
