Medication Management

med side effects help

Medication side effects are one of the top reasons patients stop taking psychiatric medications — but they don't have to be. We specialize in managing and minimizing side effects through dosage adjustments, timing changes, genetic-guided medication selection, and alternative treatment approaches.

Stay on track with expert medication management for mental health. Psychiatric medications work best when carefully monitored by an experienced provider who understands your complete health picture. Dr. Chatelier provides ongoing medication management that includes regular follow-ups, dosage adjustments, side effect monitoring, and coordination with your other healthcare providers.

We optimize prescriptions with regular follow-ups and functional insights. Our approach to medication management goes beyond writing refills — we use pharmacogenetic testing to identify which medications match your genetic profile, monitor lab values to ensure safety, and integrate hormone optimization when hormonal imbalances are contributing to your symptoms.

Whether you're starting a new medication, adjusting an existing prescription, or considering tapering off a medication you no longer need, we guide you through every step. We specialize in complex cases involving multiple medications, difficult side effects, or poor response to previous treatments.

Telehealth medication management is available for established patients, making routine follow-ups and refills convenient without sacrificing quality of care. Our goal is the minimum effective medication at the optimal dose — helping you feel your best with the fewest side effects.
