The goal of medication management is to help you get relief from the symptoms of mental health conditions while also protecting your physical well-being. The team at Desert View Counseling & Consulting achieves that goal with medication management that:
Ensures optimal results
Finding the psychiatric medicine that achieves the best results takes some trial and error. That’s because your therapist has numerous medications to choose from, each works differently, and every person has a unique metabolism.
As a result, the first medication and dose may not achieve the best results, so your therapist goes through a process of adjusting the dose and prescribing a different medication when needed.
Routine medication management appointments are essential for monitoring your results and fine-tuning your medication regimen.
Monitors side effects
As long as you take psychiatric medications, you need regular medication management appointments so your therapist can catch potential side effects before they cause serious problems.
Solves roadblocks
Unfortunately, many people stop taking their medications for numerous reasons. They may have bothersome side effects like brain fog or feel better and think they don’t need to stay on their medication. Or some people may discover they can’t afford their refills and feel uncomfortable returning to medication management appointments.
Your therapist can help you find solutions for whatever problem gets in the way of sticking with the medication you need to feel better.
