How medication management works
Your psychiatrist chooses medication with you based on your diagnosis, history, other medicines and preferences, explains how long it should take to work and which side effects to watch for, and then reviews progress at regular follow-ups. Doses are changed one step at a time so it is clear what is helping.

Keeping treatment simple for Londonderry patients
Most follow-ups are short and can be done by video from home, which matters for Londonderry professionals and shift workers at airport-area and manufacturing employers. Tell us which pharmacy you use in Londonderry or near work, and if a medication needs blood tests we will explain where and when to have them done.
Londonderry has many shift workers in manufacturing, logistics and the airport area. We take shift patterns into account when choosing medications and dose timing, especially for sleep and focus.
Safe prescribing
We check for interactions with your other prescriptions, order blood tests when a medication needs them, and follow New Hampshire's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program requirements for controlled medications. If a medication is no longer needed, we plan a gradual taper rather than stopping suddenly.
Already on medication?
We regularly take over care from other prescribers and from primary care doctors who would like a specialist to manage psychiatric medication. A complete medication list and recent notes help us avoid any gap.
