Medication Management

Medication management at Health & Psychiatry is a personalized, collaborative process overseen by Dr. Sajan. This approach can be paired with therapy to help patients achieve the most effective and balanced results from their mental health treatment.

We provide comprehensive medication management services for individuals experiencing conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health concerns that may benefit from medication support.

Under the guidance of Dr. Sajan, our experienced team carefully monitors your progress, evaluates medication effectiveness, and makes dosage adjustments as needed. Through consistent follow-ups and thorough assessments, we aim to optimize treatment outcomes while minimizing and preventing potential side effects.

Process of Medication Management

What you can Expect

At Health & Psychiatry, medication management is a thorough and personalized process designed to ensure that psychiatric medications are safe, effective, and tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs. This careful approach helps promote stability, symptom relief, and overall well-being. Medication management involves several key steps:

Clear Explanations: No medical jargon. No vague answers. You'll understand how medications work, why they're being recommended, and what the research says.

Monitoring and Adjustment: Regular follow-up visits allow our providers to evaluate how well your medications are working and make any necessary dosage or treatment adjustments to achieve the best possible results.

Treatment That Fits Your Life: Medications that make you drowsy are prescribed at night. Ones that need food get timed with meals. Your treatment works around YOUR schedule and lifestyle.

Proactive Side Effect Management: If you're gaining weight, losing sleep, or feeling worse, your dosage gets adjusted, your medication gets switched, or something gets added to counteract the side effect.

Coordinated Care: Our team works collaboratively with other healthcare professionals involved in your care to ensure treatment is well-coordinated and supports your overall health.

Health History Assessment: Before and throughout treatment, we carefully review your personal and family medical history to identify potential risks and guide safe, effective medication decisions.

What to Expect During Consultation?

At Health & Psychiatry, we want every patient to feel informed and supported throughout their care. A psychiatric medication management consultation is a collaborative process designed to ensure your medications are safe, effective, and tailored to your needs.

At Health & Psychiatry, our goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps you feel supported, understood, and empowered in your mental health journey.

Before prescribing anything, we need to understand:

  • Your symptoms and how long you've been experiencing them
  • Previous medications you've tried: what worked, what didn't, and why
  • Your medical history
  • Family history of mental health conditions
  • Lab results (if needed) to rule out medical causes like thyroid issues or vitamin deficiencies
  • Your lifestyle, work schedule, and daily routine
  • Your preferences (once-a-day vs. multiple doses, brand vs. generic, etc.)

If you are already taking medication, your provider will review your treatment to ensure it is safe, effective, and aligned with your clinical needs.

  • Evaluation of how well your current medication is managing symptoms
  • Review of side effects, dosage, and overall tolerability
  • Assessment of consistency, adherence, and the need for any adjustments

Together, we'll discuss:

  • Which medications might help your specific symptoms
  • How they work and what to expect
  • Potential side effects and how to manage them
  • How long it typically takes to see results
  • Alternatives if the first option doesn't work

You'll never be surprised. We explain everything in plain language and make sure you're comfortable before starting any medication.

Your provider will explain how your medications work and how to use them safely.

  • Overview of the medication's purpose and expected effects
  • Key side effects to be aware of
  • Instructions for proper dosing and safe use

Medication management is ongoing, not one-and-done.

At follow-up appointments, we track:

  • Are your symptoms improving?
  • Are you experiencing side effects?
  • Is the dosage right, or do we need to adjust?
  • How's your sleep, energy, and daily functioning?
  • Do we need to change medications or add anything?

Frequently Asked Questions About Medication

Effective medication management ensures that you receive the right medications at the correct dosages to help manage your symptoms while minimizing side effects. Your psychiatric provider will carefully monitor your progress, adjusting medications as needed to maximize benefits and safety. This process also involves reviewing potential medication interactions or complications to prevent issues before they arise. The ultimate goal is to support your mental health, helping you feel better and achieve greater balance in a safe and comfortable way.

At Health & Psychiatry, your medication is managed exclusively by licensed board certified medical professionals, including psychiatrists, physician assistants and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs). These specialists are trained to prescribe, monitor, and adjust psychiatric medications to ensure they are safe, effective, and appropriate for your individual needs. Once treatment begins, your provider will closely follow your progress and make any necessary changes to help you achieve the best possible results.

Not all medications cause weight gain or emotional blunting. If you experience these side effects, we can switch to alternatives or adjust your dose. We take these concerns seriously.

The right medication helps you feel MORE like yourself by reducing symptoms that were getting in the way. If you feel unlike yourself, we'll adjust.

There are dozens of psychiatric medications. Just because one didn't work doesn't mean another won't. We'll review what you've tried and explore different options.

Most psychiatric medications (antidepressants, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics) are not addictive. Some anti-anxiety medications can be habit-forming if misused, so we monitor them carefully and discuss safer alternatives.

Yes. Even if you are currently taking psychiatric medication, medication management is an important part of maintaining safe and effective treatment. A licensed psychiatric provider will review your existing prescriptions, evaluate how well they are working, and identify any potential side effects or interactions. They can also adjust dosages or recommend changes when needed. This ongoing oversight keeps your treatment personalized, optimized, and aligned with your mental health needs to help you achieve the best possible results.

Most insurance plans cover psychiatric medications. Generic options are often very affordable. We'll help you find the most cost-effective option that works for you.

Stopping some medications abruptly can cause withdrawal symptoms or relapse. When you're ready to stop, we'll taper you off safely.
