Brief Answer:
It is safe with minimal side effects if any

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
I appreciate your resolve to lose weight and would like to reinforce that you have to spend more calories than you gain through your food.
Garcinia which is an ingredient of the food in several countries has been found to be helpful.
Anxiety can produce dizziness , palpitations and trembling. Garcinia may make you feel full and may reduce your appetite. Side effects like a tummy upset, headache, dizziness or dryness of mouth may occur as side effects.
Try not to consider it as a medicine but as a food supplement and start with a small dose and build up to get the desired effect.
Also be sure to reduce your food intake by 20 % at least, eat wholesome with plenty of fruits and vegetables and cut down on high calorie food rich in fat and refined carbohydrate like sugars. Also exercise a minimum of 30 minutes a day, practice stress relief like yoga, meditation or relaxation techniques. These will help you lose weight successfully and be healthier.
Wish you all success
