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.
