The supplements: at best are worthless. There have been some reports of supplements laced with drugs. Weight loss drugs overlap with the effects of lexapro (escitalopram) and could be a concern. First, calorie count to see where the calories are coming from (and also daily exercise). then, see what can be modified. then, see about changing thoughts and attitudes. Some ideas on that are here http://www.amazon.com/dp/0692496157/
