Medication Consultation at Namaste Psychiatry is designed for those moments when you are asking, "Are these ADHD medications actually right for me?" Maybe you are unsure about starting medication, unhappy with side effects, or wondering if your current regimen really fits your life.
We begin with a detailed review of your symptoms, medical history, and past medication trials - not just for ADHD, but for anxiety, depression, and other conditions as well. With dual training in psychiatry and family medicine, we look closely at potential interactions, hormones, and physical health factors that can influence how you respond to treatment.
During your consultation, we walk through evidence‑based ADHD medication options in plain language: stimulants, non‑stimulants, dosing strategies, and what to realistically expect in the first days and weeks. For high‑achieving women, we pay special attention to concerns about appetite, sleep, emotional shifts, and how medication may affect work performance, parenting, or academic demands.
You are invited to share your preferences and fears openly - whether that is worry about dependence, stigma, or past negative experiences. Together, we weigh benefits and risks, then outline a plan that feels both clinically sound and personally comfortable.
By the end of the visit, you will know your choices, why a particular medication (or decision not to use medication) makes sense, and what specific signs will tell us whether the plan is working. The goal is a thoughtful, collaborative approach so your ADHD treatment feels intentional, not experimental.
Share a few details about what you need, and we respond personally with next steps, appointment options, and answers tailored to your mental health goals and questions.
