After you’ve completed your evaluation, we may prescribe medication for you or adjust your existing prescriptions. As time goes by, we’ll keep meeting with you to make sure your medications are working, that side effects are under control, and that the dosage you’re taking is correct. Medication management is an essential part of mental health care because medications often need to be adjusted periodically. Different people respond differently to the same medications, and different medications interact with each other, which can affect the results. That’s why it’s important to communicate clearly and openly with us about whatever you’re experiencing, so we can make sure you’re taking the right medication in the right dosage to get the results you want. Our medication management appointments usually take 20 to 30 minutes.
