Will Belviq Interact With Nexplanon Implant?

Hello, I have the Nexplanon implant for birth control and pain management. My new doctor just prescribed Belviq and he s aware that I ve had the implant for about 2 years. Will Belviq interact with my birth control? I am 31 and without children. We do not plan to start our family until 2018. However I m concerned that Belviq might lower the effectiveness of my implant. Is this something to worry about?
