A careful, step-by-step approach
We begin low and adjust based on how you respond, rather than changing several things at once. At each visit your psychiatrist reviews benefit, side effects, sleep, appetite and any new medicines from other doctors. Changes are explained in writing so you know exactly what to take and when.
Not sure where to start? Book a psychiatric evaluation in Salem, see our telehealth psychiatry option, or contact our team.
What we monitor
- Response to treatment, using simple rating scales so progress is measurable
- Side effects such as nausea, sleep changes or weight change
- Blood tests and heart checks for medications that require them
- Interactions with medicines for blood pressure, diabetes, pain or other conditions
- Prescription Drug Monitoring Program checks for controlled medications, as New Hampshire requires
Taking over from a previous prescriber
If your last prescriber retired, moved out of state or left your insurance network, call before your supply runs out. After an evaluation we can continue or adjust your regimen. Bring your current medication bottles or a printed list and any recent records.
