Thank Dr. Dan you did a wonderful job of explaining of how Contrave is supposed to work. I personally have not noticed my taste in food change. The biggest change I have noticed with food is some things just taste too sweet. In listening to you, I feel I am on the wrong weight loss medication. I’ve never had urges or cravings to manage. My biggest problem, due to my work day hours, sometimes up to 13 hour long days, has been eating after 8 -9 pm and going to bed by 10 pm, sleeping 5-6 hours and doing it all over again the next day. I’ve being doing this Monday to Friday for the last 10 years. Your video is very personable and something my own favourite pharmacist would say if she had the time. We have had good talks when I have caught her on an evening shift. Keep up your fabulous presentations and I love your sense of humour. I would also bet your mom knows the shenanigans you were up with the MJ munchies. 🤣

@theofficialdrdan3 жыл бұрын
Well fasting itself can stimulate insulin levels. As your body produces the necessary glucose/energy it needs insulin is going to be released into the blood stream. The components of the contrave do not stimulate insulin though. However, this medication can cause some nausea especially when starting it so it is recommended to take it with food to try and mitigate.

Im constantly fighting the urge to eat and im so hungry that my stomach hurts. Im eating and living a Keto lifestyle, with a eating window, then im fasting most of the 16 hours. Having one to two meals a day depends on what activity level im at. I work construction. Just eating Keto way, i went from 150 kg to 115kg. But due to a neck injury, i thought my loose of weight was the casuse and stoped my Keto way. Now i know what was the casue of the neck pain, and it was something called stress neck. I just need to find the path again... So now im stuck with a drug that gives me the munchies, and my doctor say im not taking enough to have side effects... So I question you Dr Dan.

Also don't really know if my doctor want me to have alot of energy... never ends well... Also tried doctors diet plan... tried it for years, starving have never been the option, but is still in practice... Actually all these operations and pills are the same ball park, starve your way down in weight. Stopp starving and you gain all Kg back with vengeance... It's 95% food, 5,% is fysical movement... And fat is the enemy. No my friend sugar is! Fat is something your body actually needs. Sugar is the only crap our bodies can make by it self. So I stopped listening to doctors that still are stuck I the old way of eating. High carb diets, with alot of starch low fat... Are you stuck there aswell? Also this pill dot repair anything, it just blocks stuff, and you have to be on it for the rest of your life. Also getting good pills to counter side effects, that also comes with their own... Seems pretty counter productive if you ask me. I'm asking you because there is no information out there more than best drug ever... Also people that started channels that was on this drug, stopped... Suicide or just bored of vomiting? No one knows. And no one tells you anything. Just safest drug with little benefits and alot of baggage...

I take fluoxetine and adderall xr. I’m 5’5 and weigh 190lbs. Will contrave interact with my current medications?

Lol I like your personal thanks for the information! I'm on day 2. I haven't had any side effects but I thought this would be a good medication for me to try. I'm a recovering alcoholic and I like to eat too much at time . I'm just trying to have a little help finding a balance in my brain.
