Medication is one tool among many at LumenMind. When it is appropriate, we prescribe with care and follow up closely. When it is not, we say so.
We start conservatively and titrate based on your response, not on what worked for someone else. Side effects, sleep, mood, and how you feel day to day all inform what we adjust and when.
Most importantly, we explain. You should understand why a medication is recommended, what to expect in the first weeks, and what to do if something does not feel right.
Some, yes. ADHD stimulants and certain anxiety medications when clinically appropriate. We follow careful prescribing protocols and require established care before considering them.
It depends. Early in care, every four to six weeks while we find the right dose. Once stable, every three months. Faster if something needs attention.
Often yes, with a full evaluation first. We need to understand your history and current regimen before we are comfortable continuing care.
We adjust. Sometimes that means increasing the dose, sometimes switching, sometimes adding something. The point of close follow-up is to catch these things early.
No. Many patients see us for evaluation or therapy coordination without ever taking a medication. Care should fit you, not the other way around.
