Wean Off Of Belviq
UpdatedIf belviq needs to be stopped, can you just stop or do you have to wean off of it? Also, how close is belviq to zoloft? I was once on zoloft and it didn't decrease my appetite.

Hello, Arlene! How are you?
Belviq is not related to Zoloft, it contains the active ingredient Lorcaserin, which the FDA lists as a weight-loss drug, though it does have some serotonergic properties.
Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, coughing, back pain and headache.
I am not aware of it needing to be tapered, but your doctor would be the best judge of that.
Is there anything else I can help with?
Thank you so much for answering my question. I didn't see anywhere the need for tapering med, just wanted to make sure.
