Polypharmacy Review
Polypharmacy Review at Namaste Psychiatry is designed for anyone taking multiple medications who worries, "Is all of this really necessary - and is it safe together?" If you have prescriptions from several specialists, long medication lists, or complex medical conditions, this service gives you a clear, organized picture of your treatment.
Using secure telehealth visits, we review every medication you take: psychiatric prescriptions, medical medications, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements. Drawing on our background in both family medicine and psychiatry, we assess for potential interactions, duplicated effects, and combinations that may be worsening fatigue, mood, sleep, or focus.
We consider questions such as: Are any medications working against each other? Could one drug be causing side effects that led to another prescription? Is there a simpler way to treat your symptoms with fewer pills and less risk? This step-by-step analysis helps reduce unnecessary polypharmacy while protecting treatments that are truly helping.
Safety is our priority, but so is quality of life. We talk with you about what matters most - stability, clarity of thinking, energy, emotional range - and weigh any proposed changes against those goals. When appropriate, we coordinate with your other providers so everyone involved in your care understands the updated plan.
By the end of a Polypharmacy Review, you will have a written, easy-to-understand summary of your current medications, identified concerns, and recommended adjustments or questions to discuss with other clinicians. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by a long medication list, you gain a sense of order, safety, and control over your treatment journey.
