Medication Management

What is medication management?

Medication management aims to make it easier for you to consistently and safely manage mental health conditions with medications. You and Acelise can stay on top of changing tolerances, monitor your response to new medications, assess side effects, and ensure prescriptions don’t adversely interact.

Why is medication management vital?

Taking medication without proper medical supervision can lead to a host of problems, including:

• Adverse side effects
• Drug interactions
• Less optimal improvement

Medication management with a trained professional helps you catch issues early and experience the benefits you should. It also helps you take only as much as you need, so you can avoid overmedicating or becoming dependent. 

What disorders can benefit from medication management?

You can come to EL Elyon Medpsych Services with a wide variety of mental health concerns, including:

• Depression
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Drug abuse
• Substance abuse
• Chronic impulsivity
• Anger management
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Stress
• Borderline personality disorder (BPD)
• Bipolar disorder

With telepsychiatry services, Acelise can video conference with you, listen to your concerns, and remotely prescribe medications. Whatever your current challenges, she monitors your progress, adjusts your plan whenever needed, and can also electronically send prescriptions to the pharmacy of your choice.

What can I expect from medication management?

Medication management starts with a thorough evaluation. Acelise reviews your current prescriptions and discusses your medical history, symptoms, and whether you’re experiencing (or have experienced) any side effects from medications.

Don’t hesitate to describe exactly how you feel. Only you know if the medications are helping and whether you’ve noticed changes — your input is vital, and your experiences are valid. To ensure you get the care you deserve, Acelise can adjust your dose, change medications, or suggest additional therapies to improve your well-being.

Just as your physical needs can change over time, your mental health requires maintenance. Check in regularly and keep lines of communication open so Acelise can help you reach your goals.

This is mental health care designed to work around your needs and lifestyle and support you instead of becoming an additional burden. Reach out to EL Elyon Medpsych Services today by phone or online to schedule a telehealth medication management appointment.
