Hello, Alison! How are you?

Yes, that can be a side effect of Contrave, as listed by the FDA, along with nausea, dizziness, irritability, mood swings, insomnia and anorexia.

However yes, they should start to taper off in severity and eventually go away entirely, once your body gets used to the medication, but that may take about 4 weeks, or so.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I was very foggy on contrave and also had switched from lexapro. It gets worse the longer you take it as it builds up in the liver
