Itching From Contrave (Page 4)
UpdatedI have been taking Contrave for three weeks and have developed itching on the insides of my hands and the bottoms of my feet. Has anyone else experienced this?
Re: Plumlbs (# 53)
Yes, I thought I had bed bugs or an autoimmune disease. I stopped Contrave as the side effects were not worth the intense scratching.

My only relief was Benedryl, but who wants to be on different Medications?!

So glad I found this forum. I started contrave 3 weeks ago and now that I'm on 2 and 1, I suddenly felt itchy bumps on feet, scratched through the night and then hands had bumps were itchy. Hivy rash on my arms, neck, boobs, scalp, itchy all over. It's horrible. Sometimes the hive/rash is straight line on my arm. I'm going to stop taking it and try back to 1 and 1. See if I itchy again.

Also the days before the itching symptoms started, I was hot all the time and would suddenly sweat when everyone else was cool. I thought I was experiencing menopause, but I have a feeling it's also the Contrave.
I am off it completely and as of last 7 days I am free of itching.My doctor gave me a cream for all of the welts on my lower back and arms.I hadn’t noticed that I caused all those welts and scars in my sleep. I am motivated to be good to myself and follow the Paleo diet.

Did anyone restart contrave and take a lower dosage after they stopped itching from the 3-4week dosage?
