Medication Management

Medication

After your Initial Psychiatric Evaluation has been completed, treatment options will be discussed. Together, the clinician and patient will determine whether initiating psychotropic medication is appropriate for the presenting psychiatric symptoms. Not all medications are tolerated the same by individuals and may require trials of several different regimens to achieve optimal outcomes. Once a psychotropic medication is started, medication management visits will be required to monitor for side effects, adverse reactions, and possible interactions with other supplements or medications. Multi-modal psychotropic medication therapy may be necessary with some mental health conditions. Combining medications with different mechanisms of action can have synergystic effects and help attain better symptom control, long-term remission of symptoms, and improve quality of life. We utilize various psychotropic medications to effectively manage and treat symptoms. Below is a list of the most commonly used classes of medications at Sacred Space Psychiatric Nursing, Inc.
