Psychiatric medication management involves the careful evaluation, prescribing, and ongoing monitoring of psychiatric medications. It is not simply writing a prescription — it is an ongoing clinical relationship focused on optimizing your treatment while minimizing side effects and risks.
At Axon Psychiatry Group, medication decisions are always made collaboratively. We explain the rationale behind any recommendation, discuss alternatives, and ensure you have the information you need to make informed decisions about your care.
Our Approach to Medication Management
Thorough Initial Assessment
Before recommending any medication, we conduct a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand your diagnosis, history, prior medication trials, and individual health factors.
Collaborative Decision-Making
We discuss the benefits, risks, and alternatives for any recommended medication. Your preferences and concerns are central to every treatment decision.
Careful Titration
Medications are started at appropriate doses and adjusted gradually based on your response and tolerability, with close monitoring during any changes.
Ongoing Monitoring
Follow-up appointments allow us to assess treatment effectiveness, address side effects, review any new symptoms, and adjust the plan as your needs evolve.
