Feeling Of Too Much To Drink?

Updated

I am up to my 4 week dose of Contrave and have had the side effect of constipation, but has anyone got the feeling of if you drank too much? I work through it but it's kind of strange. Also feels like I may get low blood sugar after taking. Any thoughts? I will continue despite this as the positives out weigh these. I had got up to 172. Am 164 and shooting for much lower.

Hello, Shelly! How are you doing?

I haven't taken this medication, but as listed in the side effects by the FDA, it can cause dizziness and disorientation, which may explain what you're experiencing. It can also cause some feelings of being jittery and nervous, so you may think you're having an episode of hypoglycemia. But, they should eventually improve, once your body gets used to the medication.

Other side effects may possibly include insomnia, dry mouth, depression and anorexia.

Congrats on the weight loss!!

Can anyone that's taken this medication chime in with their experiences?

I just started week 4 of contrave. I've lost 12 pounds so far and it's working great for me! I had some nausea the first couple of days, a handful of mild headaches but that's all. I started taking my first dose at night though so I think that's really helped.
