Managing My Medication with an Online Psychiatrist

If your Thriveworks psychiatric nurse practitioner thinks that you could benefit from medication, they’ll talk to you at length about your questions and concerns. They will take the time to educate you about the drug, which might be an antidepressant, a mood stabilizer, or something else. But then you’re not just left to your own devices. Your psychiatric provider can follow up with you frequently to make sure you’re not suffering from any adverse side effects. You may need to alter your treatment in the form of a different dose—or even a different or additional medication. What if your primary care doctor prescribes a new medication? Will it alter the effects of your psychiatric drug? You can always reach out to your Thriveworks provider for answers.

And of course you may not need to be on medication forever, or even long-term. It all depends on your individual case and how the treatment is going. Your psychiatric nurse practitioner is your partner in medication management.
