Constipation

I feel like I am getting every possible side effect with contrave..now I have constipation!

I have tried prunes and kiwifruit juice and neither have done much despite them being my usual go to. Im worried about using any bulking agent like metamucil or psyllium husk as things are already stuck, I am not sure if I want to bulk stuff up just yet. What other natural laxatives have worked for you? I dont really want an actual medical laxative at this stage.

Thaaanks!!

How to help nausea

Hi all! I am only on day 6 of contrave and I don't even want to take it today. Nausea is so bad. It was mild the first 3 days, 4th day I felt great, yesterday was awful and I still feel awful today. I have tried to eat small meals with little to no fat, thought that was working then nah. I do have some anti nausea medication at home and will probably have to take that. I am so tempted just to stop though, I am not sure all this nausea is worth it. How did you get over it and what did you do??
