I need to reduce my intake of Contrave because of side affects. I'm cutting back from 4 pills to 3. How long does it take for Contrave to reduce in my system so that I don't have the severe symptoms?

I’ve been in Contrave for 3 years. 75pounds lost, no side effects whatsoever. Contrave is not a horrible medication. It just didnt work out for you.

Unfortunately it did not go away for me. I had lots of side effects once I went up to 2 pills in morning. I had tremors, twitching or jerking, extremely dry mouth, nausea, occasional balance issues, and foggy head. Once it felt like I had a lead blanket wrapped around me and was trying to push me into the ground. My doctor told me to stop taking it immediately (no titration down).

Foggy head will go away after about 10 days and the body gets used to it- then it’s fine

I started taking Contrave on June 18, 2917. I had some nausea at first but it went away. I had to get a refill but had trouble getting it so I made another appointment with my doctor. I was without tge medicine fir about 9 days. Got my refill a took it for 3-4 days then came down with severe case of diarrhea. I discontinued the medicine as soon as the diarrhea started. That was 5 days ago. Does anyone know how long the diarrhea lasts after discontinuing the medication?

If I took Contrave for 3 days and stopped it on monday and today is wednesday. How long will it take to get out of my system. It has really messed me up. On monday I stopped taking the product because I had vaginal bleeding and cramping and bloated. I havent have a period in 4 year so wtf is going on. I went to my doctor and they are sending me to an OBGYN. I dont think it is anything else. I really think it is caused by the pills. I will repost after tomorrows visit to OBGYN. Thanks.

I have only been on 3 days and stopped. I was so out of it, like when on pain pills, dizzy, hot and every time I ate would get severe stomach cramps and diarrhea. I was on Belviq in the past and never had side effect like these. Not going to take anymore.
