Suggest Treatment For Mental Illness

My girlfriend was diagnosed with a mental illness and was prescribed 900mg of lithium, 300mg of seroquel, 200mg of lamictal, and 40mg of propranolol. She's been using them for a while and she decided she's going to be living a non chemical based lifestyle she quit about 4 days ago and now she's throwing up and saying her whole body is sore and heavy and insomnia is there anything I could do to help?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
because of stopping of drugs, she is feeling these symptoms. these drugs should be stop slowly by tapering the doses.
sudden stop increases such problems.
in my opinion contact your psychiatrist and go for counselling sessions and valproate tab will be better... no need to give lots of medicines.
hope my answer helped you.
take care.
