Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your concern.

Vitex Agnus-castus is commonly taken for conditions related to the menstrual cycle in women.

It actually reduces sexual desire.

Agnus castus has not been significantly investigated for its therapeutic effects.

It is only known that it works like a progesterone like hormone.

I recommend to take off the medication.

I also recommend taking vitamin B and vitamin C supplement to lower the effects of Agnus castus.

I also suggest to drink a lot of liquids.
