Brief Answer:
Not safe with the medicines you use

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Garcinia cambogia is a weight loss supplement but with use of anti depressants and blood pressure medications, its use is not recommended as it interacts with the pills and may affect their efficacy. Try natural methods of exercise, diet and lifestyle modifications, reducing caloric intake etc.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Khan
