Hello Doctor,
About 3 or 4 months ago, my wife has become increasingly irritable and angry in all situations. This includes talking to me, dealing with the children, and even with the pets. I noticed that this change in her behavior started around the same time she began taking Qsymia. Could this medication be affecting her mood and possibly explaining the changes in her behavior?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Qsymia can cause various side effects, including difficulty thinking clearly or memory issues for some individuals. In rare cases, it may also lead to mood changes, such as irritability or anger, and can even trigger suicidal thoughts. Additionally, Qsymia has been known to increase heart rate and may cause vision problems. If your wife is experiencing significant changes in mood or any other concerning symptoms, it’s important to contact her healthcare team right away or seek emergency care for any side effects that seem serious or life-threatening.
Thanks
