I was just prescribed contrave for weight loss. one of the possible side effects is suicidal thoughts. what are the chances of that happening? ive never had such thoughts before, and a bit scare to have this as a side effect with contrave?

You should not worry about this labeling, a caution for much younger patients. By PDR.net: "In placebo-controlled trials with bupropion & naltrexone (Contrave) (equivalent to bupropion doses of 360 mg/day) for the treatment of obesity in adults, no suicides or suicide attempts were reported in studies up to 56 weeks duration". Take care.
