2nd thoughts: I would like to know your prescribing dr opinion. I m glad you asked. It is advisable to never add a supplement to a medication prescribed, mostly if you will change a calculated (by your dr) balance, targeting the same neurotransmitters the drug will act upon...You may really distort the expected effects. Just my thoughts! good luck, stay safe.
