Medication Management
The goal of medication management is to help you feel all the way well, with as few medications as possible. In other words, this means that you should be able to eat, sleep, work, play, and maintain your relationships. Furthermore, you should be able to enjoy these activities in whatever way is meaningful to you.
My approach is different...you're going to love it.
We hear from clients all the time that they are taking medications without knowing what they are for or why they were started, taking medications they hate, or not taking medications they need because they were started without follow-up, were too expensive, or had unmanaged side effects. It frustrates us when we see clients on medications with risks they were never taught about or given appropriate monitoring for. Even worse, we see clients on many medications that arenât working because theyâre being treated with medication for issues better addressed with therapy. Ultimately, we work to ensure these situations never happen to our clients!
Efficacy
Safety
We want you to understand the safety considerations of your medication. To ensure this, we will answer your questions and provide handouts to help you understand how to take your medication safely. This includes avoiding drug interactions and ordering lab monitoring if needed.
Tolerability
For a medication to be useful, it must be effective, safe, and free from intolerable side effects. At every appointment, we assess for side effects and make adjustments as needed. We encourage you to communicate whenever you experience an unwanted side effect, and you can do so securely through your patient portal. Additionally, we provide anticipatory guidance about common side effects and share the strategies we use to manage them.
