Contrave And High Fat Foods (Page 2)

I ate a high fat meal (stuffed baked potato) tonight and am wondering when it is safe to take my evening dose of Contrave. All the warnings say is do not take with a high fat meal. Well, how long do you have to wait? There is no information on that! Has anyone heard?

I actually took my medication with a high fatty meal and ended up in the bathroom for awhile. It will definitely make you rethink and I dont think a baked potato would count for high fatty meal.

Hi. I ate a high fat meal before reading these and realizing it was a bad idea. About to start week 3 and had not eaten a high fat meal until yesterday. I had a burger that had bacon and fried onions on it..... I payed for that. Really bad headache and nausea. I hadn't really had much side effects before that. On the positive side those symptoms will definitely make me think twice about eating like I used to!

UPDATE...I'm on my 2nd week 2 pills twice a day and still have not had any problems. I'm down 9.4 lbs. My daily meals are breakfast 4 boiled eggs no yolk or I make omlete with lean taco meat lunch salad with cut up baked chicken breast with homemade dressing dinner has been the same salad or fish with cauliflower and broccoli. I've had steak and broccoli and so far I'm doing great. Today I will see my doctor since starting the pill
