Can I Take Rodhiola In Place Of Anit Depressant And Mood Stabilizer?
My question is about psychiatric medications. Do you know if it is safe to take supplements such as rodhiola with prescription meds? I just started seeing a holistic doctor who wants to wean me off of the anit-depressant and mood stabilizer. Just trying to feel better mentally and physically.

Hello,
Avoid taking them together.
It is good you are coming out of these drugs which are very addictive.
Wean gradually and do regular exercises,yoga,prananayama deep breathing exercises,eat healthy by taking fresh fruits and vegetables,avoid junk foods,quit smoking and alcohol.
All these measures would make you completely all right.
Be patient and give these measures at least 6-9 months to work.
Thanks
