Medication Management Questions, Answered
What does medication management actually involve?
Careful prescribing plus scheduled follow-up: reviewing how a medication is working, watching side effects, adjusting doses, and reconsidering the plan when something isn't helping. It's the ongoing work after a prescription, not just the prescription itself.
I've tried several medications already. What's different here?
Your history changes the strategy. A real medication review looks at doses, durations, combinations, and genetics-informed options — and because we offer TMS and Spravato, "another pill" isn't the only tool if medication truly isn't the answer.
Can you take over prescriptions from my current provider?
Yes — bring your records or sign a release and we'll request them. Transfers of care are routine, including controlled-substance prescriptions with appropriate documentation.
How often are follow-ups?
Every 2–4 weeks while starting or adjusting medication, stretching toward quarterly once you're stable. Dose changes always come with a scheduled check-in — you're never left on autopilot.
Do I have to stop seeing my current therapist?
No. We're glad to handle medication while you continue therapy elsewhere — with a release on file, your provider here coordinates directly with your therapist.
Can medication visits be by video?
Yes — medication management works well by telehealth for most patients, anywhere in Maine. We'll ask you to come in when a physical assessment matters.
