The best person to answer your questions is your Psychiatrist. At least he knows about the Psychitric medicines more than anyone of us. He will also know about the interaction of the medicine with health supplements.
Please don't get carried away by "extracted from natural source" . That is business gimmick.
Please wait for a few more days or months before you start health supplements. Let your Psychiatrist come back.

Avoid any type of supplements if you want a healthy and long life.
Drink plenty of water. 3 litres per day
