How can i practice the cbt tools while the medication that i take already covered all the symptoms . u think i should stop taking the medication?

Not necessarily: Generally, the combination of cbt and medication is better than either alone. Using cbt tools may be help with preventing recurrence of whatever it is you have. You should certainly discuss pros and cons on continuing vs stopping medication with your prescriber before making a decision.
