A member asked:
Is it safe to take diet pills, like hydroxy slim, when taking medication for your thyroid (levothyroxin 112mcg) and for anxiety (strattera (atomoxetine) 40mg)?

Diet pills: I would not recommend that, due to worsening of anxiety & effect on cardiovascular system & thyroid function.

No: No. Diet pills and supplements are not approved by the fda to be safe or effective. The supplements can have lots of side-effects. Also, you maybe want to consider the fact that in the long run, diets really don't work and life style changes are key. If you have anxiety, the diet stuff can make it worse. I've had folks test positive for methamphetamines from taking diet pills. I would avoid them.
