Posted on Tue, 29 Sep 2015

Question: Hi. Thanks for the answer I received a few weeks ago. It was helpful.I have another question.I am taking 2 mg Haldol and 3 mg melatonin. The melatonin has been helping immensely for sleep. Recently I got a product called Garcinia Essentials to lose weight. Would it react with the others? Thanks.

No significant interaction but i will not recommend

Detailed Answer:
Hello there,

I would not recommend at this point to add supplement like garcinia essentials which can cause acute liver failure..Its better to get your normal circadian rhythm back..After a certain period,you can try reducing your weight by bariatric surgery/or safer drugs like orlistat,fenofibrate..Hope you accept my answer.If any doubts,i am here to help you out..

Thank you.
