Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Garcinia is a herbal product.It is used for weight loss purpose mainly. However no human studies have shown effectiveness. No side effects or drug interaction with sertraline or clonazepam found.
You can take it.
Some people are allergic to this product so when you take first time take in minimum dose to check sensitivity.

However you must inform your treating doctor also about this intake.

Brief Answer:
To be on safer side

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I can understand your curiosity.

Any medicine or herbal product can cause any side effect or reaction first time in any patient depending upon genetic and physique of the person though no past record of such problem.
If your treating doctor is aware about your supplement intake and by chance any problem occurs, doctor can provide immediate help.
So to be on safer side you should inform your doctor. Otherwise no problem will be there with garcinia.

Hope this answers your concern.
