Yes it has helped with my hairloss. My hair has been growing back in. I take 30,000 units of biotin like my doctor told me to every day. That has really helped me. I have cut back to two a day. One in am one in pm. But for a while I did cut back to one pill in am. But now I did go to one in pm. But I won't do more than that or my hair will start to fall out again. I like how Contrave does help me so I don't want to stop completely.

I have been on Contrave for about 6 months. My hair is falling out in massive amounts! It will not hold color and is very dry/brittle. Contrave has helped with weight loss,but I hate the hair loss problem.

The smell issue and night sweats have been the worst part for me. The smell is like a combination of cigarette smoke and vehicle exhaust. Is your nose back to normal yet?

I have been on contrave for 6 months and just noticed that my hair is thinning a lot. How much hair loss did you experience?

I lost handfuls in the shower each day. When I finally stopped the medication you could see my scalp and it was especially noticeable at the front of my hairline. It took about 6 months for noticeable re growth and the hair is growing back thinner and oddly wavy.
