Medication Management FAQs
How often will I have follow-up visits?
It depends on your needs. Visits are usually more frequent when starting or adjusting a medication and less frequent once things are stable.
Will I need to take medication forever?
Not necessarily. Your plan is reviewed regularly, and any changes — including reducing or stopping a medication — are made gradually and safely together.
What if I notice side effects?
Contact the office. Many side effects can be addressed by adjusting the dose, timing, or medication. Please don't stop a medication suddenly without guidance.
