Belviq...anxiety

Is it truly bad to be on Belviq with an anxiety medication? My Dr. Okay'ed it but I don't want bad side effects that can be life threatening. Today was my 1st day and I'm very nausea. Could also be from my Metformin I just started on..thinking I will stop this and focus on the belviq...and advice?

Hello, Suga! How are you?

What anxiety medication do you take? I'm sorry, but I can't check for possible interactions or problems without knowing the specific drug. Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you!

Belviq is approved by the FDA to aid in weight loss. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, anorexia, diarrhea, pale skin and insomnia. Thus, it can cause nausea, as a side effect.

What are you taking the Metformin for? If you're diabetic, it could be dangerous for you to stop it.

Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, flatulence and hypoglycemia.

Belviq and Metformin can both lower your blood sugar so be careful if you start taking both at the same time.

I started taking belviq and I stopped taking my celexa after being on it for 3-4 years. I started being moody and irritable, so I started it back. Is this going to be a deadly combination? My doctor approved me to take it but I did see that it has an interaction between these too.
