Medication Management

Therapy alone was not enough.

You have done therapy.

You learned the appropriate skills to manage the symptoms you have.

For the most part, things have gone well, and you have been able to cope, but something is still missing.

You feel things could still be better.

“What should I try next?”

Some have suggested trying medication, but you aren’t sure what to expect. The idea is, honestly, a little scary.

A lot of questions come to mind.

“What Medication should I try? What medication will help me?”

“Are there side effects? Will I become addicted?”

Here’s what you can expect.

When you are thinking about trying medication, you decide when to start!

Before deciding on a medication, you will have a thorough evaluation and the opportunity to hear about options.

The medication chosen will be the best-tailored choice for you.

We will discuss the medication type, side effects, and benefits in detail, and you can ask as many questions as you need.

“How long will I be on medication?”

The length of time you spend on medication depends on your diagnosis and the symptoms you are experiencing.

However, in many cases, we can discuss the optimal time for stopping the medication once you complete treatment.

“What could medication do for me?”

Medication could be the key to unlocking what you felt was missing.

Feeling anxious can be exhausting, but feeling less on edge all day is possible. It could even be more accessible to apply those deep breathing techniques you learn; they may even work better.

Performing adequate sleep hygiene suggestions may not be enough. Insomnia may be challenging, and getting the extra support you need could lead to the sleep you have been dreaming about.

There is nothing wrong with getting the additional support that you need. Contact me today for more information on how I can help you manage your medication.
