@tsmalls Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Like @marionwilhelm said, your doctor is your ally, and on your side in guiding you to better health mentally and physically. There should be no secrets that you hold back from him/her. You will find that most medications taken for mental health conditions should not be stopped abruptly. If they are going to be stopped, it is done gradually. Can you contact your doctor and explain what you have done, and get some guidance?

Your physician is an ally. Tell him what you are doing & what you are trying. A lot of natural remedies can work well but they may have things like St John’s wort which could interact/alter what you are weaning from. Again, talk ŵith your doctor.
