Doctor prescribe me belviq, (lorcaserin) but i been taking duloxetine for years.. will i be ok... i'm concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Caution: Belviq, (lorcaserin) used for weight loss, and duloxetine interact to increase risk for serotonin syndrome, with symptoms such as confusion, increased heart rate and blurred vision. Be sure to discuss with prescribing doctor, who may want to use low dose and careful monitoring. Healthy eating and regular exercise should continue for any weight loss program. I hope this helps. Best wishes.
