dr offered me contrave
hello everyone,
i am a 22 year old female, 5’5, and 153lbs. so im not too overweight. i am also vegan so i eat pretty healthy in general.
today, my dr offered me contrave. i do want to lose about 20-25 lbs because i have been feeling quite unhappy with and embarrassed by my body. i thought going vegan would help me lose some weight (not the reason i did it, but wanted to drop some weight as a “side effect”) and i havent budged an ounce.
i have a severe fear of throwing up, so that aspect of contrave scares me, but i do have a prescription for zofran (super strong anti-nausea) i literally refuse to throw up i would rather die, so if throwing up is certain like it is with glp-1’s, i wont do it.
is it worth it or should i just try to lose the weight myself? im pretty gluttonous even though i eat healthy foods. i snack like every 2 hours and always need a sweet treat at night.
