Is It Unsafe To Take SSRI And Oxyelite Pro The Same Day?

I am taking an SSRI and a thermogenic diet supplement called Oxyelite Pro by USPS labs.
It contained a vasoconstrictor dimethylene (sp?)
As well as caffeine and something that increases thyroid function.
I have low cholesterol (75) and very good blood pressure stats... 100/90.
All other bloodwork "perfect" according to physician.
I am a 46 year old female, have been taking the supplement for 3days and enjoy the effects (energy, focus, appetite suppressant).
Is it very unsafe for mr to use these two products in the same day?
I space it out about 2 hours between taking them. It also contains caffeine.
Thank you for any insights.

Dietitian & Nutritionist 's  Response
It is a wise idea to come to HCM and bounce your ideas off of us. I am sorry to inform you that Oxyelite Pro is very dangerous to take. It has caused documented cases of liver failure, stroke, heart attacks and increases blood clotting. The chemical responsible is often hidden under a term related to "geranium oil" or some other bogus name.

Taking caffeine at the same time as this pill is what I call a classic coronary risk bypass special.

Please try more natural thermogenic aids. I just wrote a blog about this very topic. If you need help with your nutritional weight loss plan I can refer you to zest.md in India or in US contact eatright.org and find a Dietitian in your zip code area. I am more than willing to guide you in the right direction, but it sounds like you might benefit from a lifestyle modification plan to help you achieve your goals - more than what an email can offer. Good luck to you ! Kathyrn J. Shattler, MS,RDN
