I am experiencing sort of a set back with my anxiety since I started taking supplement to lose weight. I just need some dialogue as to whether Im doing the right thing for myself

Brief Answer:
Some supplements may affect interact with prescription drugs making them less effective- kindly asked to tell us which supplements you use

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service,

I carefully read your query.

Supplements may interact with the effect of prescription drugs. It is important for us to know which supplements you are using so we can check the ingredients and possible interactions with Paroxetine and Clonazepam which are the drugs that are used against anxiety.

If the supplements do interact with these two drugs then very likely your worsening of anxiety is related to the use of the supplements.

I hope to hear from you soon with the names of the supplements you use so I can further assist you.

I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj
