Medication Management Specialist

What is medication management?

Medications are often an essential part of a treatment plan for mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. However, not all medications work well together and can increase your risk for serious health complications if you take incompatible medications simultaneously.

The medication management services available at Waterside Psychiatry focus on keeping you safe from medication conflicts that can jeopardize your health. 

The team also ensures that you’re taking prescription medications as directed to prevent issues like misuse or abuse of certain drugs.

When should I consider medication management services?

You should consider medication management services if you have to take more than one medication at a time to manage a physical or mental health condition.

The Waterside Psychiatry team spends time reviewing the list of all medications you take, including over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements. They can identify potential conflicts that can put you at risk for unwanted side effects or more serious complications.

You may also benefit from medication management assistance if you’re taking medications for an underlying condition but aren’t finding relief from your symptoms. The team can evaluate your overall health during an online telehealth visit to determine if you need an adjustment to your dosage or a change in your medications.

If you experience side effects from any medications you take, you can work with the team to find alternative drugs for your treatment.

What are the benefits of medication management?

In addition to protecting your current and long-term health from potential complications, the medication management services available at Heroic Mental Health offer other benefits.

Needing to take multiple medications a day can be confusing or overwhelming to some. To help you better organize your medications, the team can work with you on a daily medication schedule to ensure proper timing and dosage. Taking medications at the same time each day can help maximize the outcome of your treatment.

The team can also highlight important information about your medications, such as which drugs you should take with a meal to reduce nausea and other side effects.
