She is on multiple medication for depression. One cannot stop all the medicine suddenly but what we can do we can reduce medicine gradually one by one. You consult your doctor and ask them to reduce 1 by 1 medicine for few days and then if she is ok with that another medicine after some days. Like that you can stop the medication but don't stop on the medication suddenly.
