Medication Management
Medication management is a key component in successful therapy. It is important to regularly review prescription drugs to verify the need and that the proper dosage has been prescribed.
Our goal at Integrative Psychiatric Care is to stay on top of what medication are necessary or perhaps are no longer necessary. Over time, some prescriptions may change or there may be a better option available. It may also be time to review and reduce your dosage.
There are many over the counter options such as herbal or vitamin supplements that may be easily available, but when not noted may interact poorly with prescription medications. It is important to discuss all of this for better medication management.
Steps to Medication Management at IPC

During your appointment your provider will review all treatments and prescriptions you are currently taking. With your mental health in mind, this review will allow the provider to make adjustments as needed.

Your provider will review all aspects of the benefits or disadvantages of medications in your specific case. Prescriptions can be very significant in easing various mental health conditions, however, if alternatives to medication are possible or desired, your provider will discuss this with you.
