What Is Medication Management?
Medication management is not just about writing a prescription. It’s about:
- Evaluating whether medication is appropriate for your symptoms and life situation.
- Choosing the right medication(s), doses, and timing.
- Monitoring side effects, interactions, and effectiveness.
- Adjusting treatment over time as your needs change.
- Coordinating with therapists, primary care, schools, or other providers.
At Solstice Healthcare, our skilled experts are committed to helping you in easy medication management for your daily needs. Let us know if you need Medication assistance for yourself or for your loved ones in Connecticut, we’re here to help.
When Medication May Help
You may benefit from medication management if you:
- Have been diagnosed (or suspect) ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder or other mood disorders.
- Are struggling with symptoms that significantly affect daily life (focus, sleep, concentration, mood swings).
- Have tried therapy or lifestyle changes but still find symptoms hard to manage.
- Need help making sense of multiple medications, possible interactions, or adjusting doses.
- Want professional oversight to ensure safe, evidence-based treatment.
What to Expect from Our Psychiatric Medication Services
When you begin medication care at Solstice, here’s how we proceed:
- Comprehensive Evaluation
To determine an accurate diagnosis. We review your medical history (including physical health, previous psychiatric/medication treatment, family history), symptom history, lifestyle, sleep, and any current treatments. - Discussion of Options
If medication is appropriate, we explain possible medication classes, how they work, expected timeline, risks, and benefits. We also explore non-medication alternatives and how to combine approaches for maximum benefit. - Customized Plan
Together we set goals (symptom reduction, improved functioning, etc.), pick a starting medication and dosage if indicated, and plan how we’ll monitor progress. - Education & Safety
You’ll learn what to expect (onset of effect, possible side effects), how to take the medication correctly, what to watch for, what to track, and when to communicate with us.
This approach ensures that your psychiatric medication plan evolves with you, prioritizing safety, stability, and progress.
