Question 1

Question 2

reading about garcinia cambogia. wondering if its ok to take with gad. on lexapro (escitalopram) 10mg. will it make my anxiety worse or maybe better?

Accepted Answer

Garcinia cambogia: Garcinia cambogia is a small fruit from india.  Its rind contains hydroxycitric acid (hca) -- it's used as a weight loss aid, but the research evidence is mixed.  It is probably safe unless you're diabetic on oral hypoglycemic agents, or are on statins.  I could find no specific interaction with lexapro (escitalopram).  There's no information about its effects on anxiety.  Please discuss with your own physician.

Question 3

can i take garcinia cambogia while taking tramadol (ultram) and xanax (alprazolam) for anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Tramadol is for pain: and not for anxiety. I am unaware of any interactions between Garcinia and any of these medications. However, I would strongly suggest using the prescribing physician and/or your pharmacist for information about this issue - they are both good sources.

Question 4

is it safe for me to take garcinia cambogia to aid in weight loss if i'm taking 15 mg of paxil daily for anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Consult doctor: Do not take any medication,herbals, over the counter medications or nutritional supplements without talking to your doctor who prescribed Paxil.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

NO Don't use it: Garcinia cambogia is in most weight loss supplements, and can cause liver failure.It was also used in Hydroxycut which was taken off the market as people died from using it.
