Safety and monitoring
Some medications need blood tests or heart checks, and controlled medications require New Hampshire Prescription Drug Monitoring Program checks and regular visits. If a medication is no longer needed, your psychiatrist plans a gradual taper rather than a sudden stop.

Keeping treatment simple for Durham patients
Most medication follow-ups are short, and for university faculty and staff, students and Seacoast commuters a video visit avoids time off for travel. Tell us which pharmacy you use in Durham or near work. If a medication needs blood tests, we explain what is needed so you can have them done close to home in Strafford County. Students who split the year between home and campus need to plan visits for times when they are in New Hampshire.
Living in Durham
Durham is shaped by the University of New Hampshire, with faculty, staff and students alongside long-time residents. Students should remember that video visits must take place while they are physically in New Hampshire, which matters during breaks at home in another state.
Transferring your care
If your previous prescriber retired, moved or left your insurance network, contact us before you run out. After an evaluation we can continue or adjust your treatment. A full medication list and recent records help avoid gaps.
Getting care from Durham
From Durham, our Salem office is about 50 minutes by car. Many Durham patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
Frequently asked questions
Can my primary care doctor keep prescribing?
Sometimes. We can stabilize treatment and then share a plan with your primary care provider.
How do refills work?
Request refills before you run low. Some medications require a current visit before a refill.
Can I stop my medication on my own?
Please talk with your psychiatrist first; some medications need a gradual taper.
