Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

It is quite a good idea that you are trying to improve your health and weight approaching a healthy diet and lifestyle.

Taking weight loss supplements is an option but they can give side effects. I want to know the name of the supplement you are taking. Make sure to take an FDA approved supplement.

Phentermine/topiramate should not be used while on paroxetine because it has major interactions and can increase nervousness, anxiety, restlessness, racing thoughts, etc.

If you are taking it you better stop it and take another weight loss pill.


Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
