I do not know what is in that "diet pill", but if it is effective (read: a stimulant), you are risking overstimulation, high blood pressure, and a general feeling of malaise.
If you want a diet pill, go with phentermine, benzphetamine, diethylpropion (same chemical family as wellbutrin), phendimetrazine (probably not too effective), or mazindol. OTC stuff is usually snake oil. Sibutramine isn't too effective, either, AFAIK.
Only generally, though. Strangely enough, you could lose weight with high doses of Kava Kava. That might balance out the Wellbutrin with a nice anti-anxiety effect. If you use this for long periods of time, get liver function tests.
