In many cases they can be taken together, but you must tell us what you are currently taking. Psychiatric medication, however, is dangerous to reduce or stop on your own. Only the psychiatrist who prescribed it can decide on dose changes, and we do not advise it.

Q. Can I take herbal medicine with my psychiatric medication?

Yes, this is possible. Initially they can be taken together, then Western medication can be gradually reduced as symptoms improve.

📝 Detailed Answer

Combining Korean and Western medicines is conducted safely under a Korean medicine doctor's supervision. Spacing intake by 1–2 hours minimizes interaction concerns. As symptoms improve, work with your psychiatrist to gradually taper Western medication.
