Hi, You may speak to your psychiatrist and can think about therapy and see if that works for you. Sudden discontinuation of medications will cause trouble, so a detailed discussion should help you. The supplements like milk thistle has limited research so I would not personally recommend it to my patients.

Next Steps

Detailed consultation with your psychiatrist about what your expectations are so that you can work out treatment plan
