Hello,
Any drug can lead to this acid/ gaseous issue when taken. If you are unable to tolerate this drug, either reduce dose or you need to change it. I would like to know for which specific cause was this drug started for, so that I can advise you some alternate treatment. It is from a group of amphetamines which can lead to anxiety tachycardia and nervousness, belching may be a part of this whole spectrum.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
