Ok, here is my Rant of the Day. Some might need a seat belt. Everyone will get a good laugh at my expense, ok, here we go. Here is a list of side effects, serious side effects of a weight loss drug, that some physicians are excited about. Contrave. Possible serious side effects of CONTRAVE: If you have a seizure, stop taking CONTRAVE, tell your healthcare provider right away, and do not take CONTRAVE again If you take opioid medicines, there may be a risk of opioid overdose. You should get emergency medical help right away if you have trouble breathing; become drowsy with slowed breathing; have slow, shallow breathing; or feel faint, dizzy, or confused Sudden opioid withdrawal can be severe and may require hospitalization Stop taking CONTRAVE and get medical help immediately if you have any of the following signs and symptoms of severe allergic reactions: rash, itching, hives, fever, swollen lymph glands, painful sores in your mouth or around your eyes, swelling of your lips or tongue, chest pain, or trouble breathing Increases in blood pressure or heart rate may occur CONTRAVE can cause liver damage or hepatitis. Stop taking CONTRAVE if you have any of the following symptoms of liver problems: stomach area pain lasting more than a few days, dark urine, yellowing of the whites of your eyes, or tiredness Manic episodes can occur. CONTRAVE can cause some people who were manic or depressed in the past to become manic or depressed again CONTRAVE can cause visual problems (angle-closure glaucoma). Signs and symptoms may include: eye pain, changes in vision, swelling or redness in or around the eye. Talk with your doctor to find out if you are at risk and to get treatment to prevent it Increased risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus who also take medicines to treat their diabetes (such as insulin or sulfonylureas). You should check your blood sugar before you start and while taking CONTRAVE The most common side effects of CONTRAVE include nausea, constipation, headache, vomiting, dizziness, trouble sleeping, dry mouth, and diarrhea. Tell your healthcare provider about any side effect that bothers you or does not go away. These are NOT ALL the possible side effects of CONTRAVE. YOU MEAN THERE ARE MORE!!!! These are not ALL the side effects, there are more! Really love the Hepatitis and Liver Damage side effect. OK, lets start treating the cause, not the symptoms. Why are Mental Health professions so often neglected in this situation. Most doctors treat Psychiatrists like the red headed step child in the family. Thats #1. Number 2, Nutrition and exercise needs to be administered by professionals, so lets get the Jade Tetas, the Ken Coopers and Robert Lustigs on board, and lets make this right. Obesity, Type II Diabetes, Hypertension and High Cholesterol are not diseases, they are conditions, all correctable with mental health care, nutrition, exercise and lifestyle changes. For those in the fight, keep fighting, and do not be afraid to call Bull when you see it. I finally have hit the age, and experience level that I am not afraid to take on the pill pushers, putting profit before principle has no place in healthcare, sorry guys, but your system is broken, and so few of you want to change the status quo, Ok, I opened the doors, comments welcomed.
