Is Medication Right For You?

It’s a common misconception that scheduling an appointment with a prescriber requires a commitment to trying medication.  It’s not off the table to simply make yourself more informed about what the options are, what the side effects might be, and learn about the gradation of therapeutic options there are.

Whether you’ve been struggling with a mental health issue for some time, or are struggling with something for the first time, there are medication-related options available to you.  Most studies that have looked into the issue show that the combination of therapy with medication provides better and quicker results than using either method independently.  It’s often misbelieved that starting a medication means that you may need to take it for the rest of your life, however, it’s often the case that a targeted medication strategy to help you make a breakthrough on a short time scale can be one of the best tools you have available to you.

Will I Become Dependent On Medication?

By far, most prescribable medications are not habit-forming, and your prescriber will talk to you about how this works during your initial meeting with them.  Though conditions like ADHD or Anxiety do have habit-forming controlled medications that can be used, there are a number of non-habit-forming alternatives that also work efficaciously, often with fewer side effects.  

Some medications can be used with shorter treatment windows with the expectation of coming off of them after a goal is accomplished, while others are more of a maintenance or neurological supplement that are required to be continued to maintain their effect.  Learning which are the right option for you would require speaking to a medical specialist.

Why Choose Our Prescribers?

We have partnered specifically with prescribers who develop a one-on-one relationship with their clients.  We opened the prescriber wing of our platform after our therapists continued to experience clients talking about their experience of 3-minute prescriber visits that consist of: “Hey, everything good?  Same Pharmacy?  See you next month.”  Our prescribers will take the time to get to know you, learn about your goals, help you to set them, and create a partnership you can count on.  You don’t deserve to go through your struggles with an impersonal medical line worker.  Partner with one of our more nurturing providers today.
