I would be very very wary of going off the meds that you're on, especially if you're feeling good on them. I'm not sure about you, but it's taken me over two years to find a combination of meds that works for me and I'm still not quite there. But once I find the magic combo I'm sticking with it!
Also bear in mind that a lot of natural therapies can still have side effects and interactions. Also, because of the multiple compounds contained in each one, there is very little known about a lot of them - just because it's natural doesn't mean it's safer. And it definitely does NOT mean that they're safe to take WITH any of your existing meds. Some might be!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-natural medicines at all. But I am not convinced that any of the currently known products could be as effective as what you're on now. Especially a long list of them...
However if you do choose to go ahead, make sure you talk to your treating doctor about it beforehand and have them monitor your progress.
Zoidy's mantra: Just cos it's natural, doesn't mean it's safer!
