Brief Answer: It does not appear to be harmful Detailed Answer: Hello and welcome to HCM! The supplement true focus is marketed as a mental health booster, and the contents appear to be simple and helpful for bodily functioning when taken in recommended dosage - once a day. Apparently there is no problem in taking them with the ongoing medicines for some days. However, one should continue taking the medicines daily and keep a regular visit to his psychiatrist. Natural supplements are not backed by enough research. Thus all of their side effects are not usually known or not documented in medical literature. It will be best to discuss the supplement with the treating doctor in next visit. Hope the reply is useful please feel free to ask more questions for clarifictaion Dr. Manisha Gopal MD. Psychiatry
