Dear Ravi, Your doctor might have felt the need for supplements in addition to other prescription medicines. Calcium - you may need as age advances to help your bones to be strong. Other vitamins are water soluble - so it will be sent out easily. Cod liver oil is not water soluble. You my need for your depression only 3 capsules per week in addition to fluoxetine. So reduce it. For stopping other vitamins, you need to take appropriate vitamin rich diet. Please consult a dietician.
