What is medication management?

Medication management is a service that supports the proper use of medications for the treatment of psychiatric conditions.

Because some psychotropic drugs can cause unwanted side effects that interfere with your physical or mental health, the MB Wellness Associates team takes a personalized approach to medication management.

The providers work closely with adults and children to ensure the medications you take are working well. They can also identify potential conflicts that can develop when taking multiple medications at the same time.

When should I schedule a medication management consultation?

Schedule a consultation at MB Wellness Associates if you’re taking one or more medications to treat a mental health condition, such as:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Schizophrenia
• Bipolar disorder
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

You might also benefit from the available medication management services if you take medications to treat a physical health issue. The team works to identify medication conflicts before you experience unwanted side effects or medical complications.

What can I expect during my initial medication management appointment?

During your initial medication management consultation, the MB Wellness Associates team reviews your current health, medical history, and the medications you use.

It’s helpful if you bring along a complete list of all medications you take regularly, including the name of the drug and the dosage. You should also include over-the-counter medications and dietary supplements, as they can also interfere with the effectiveness of psychiatric medications.

The team checks your list for potential medication conflicts. They also discuss how well the current dosage you use is working to control your symptoms. If your prescriptions aren’t working well or there’s a conflict with your medications, the team recommends any changes you need to make.

Your initial medication management visit is also a great time to learn about the drugs you’re using and how to take each of the medications properly. If you have challenges like difficulties remembering to take medicine, the team can offer resources that support the proper use of psychiatric drugs and other medications.
