What to expect
- Medication review: We review every medication and supplement you take, past trials, what helped and what did not.
- Shared decision: Your clinician explains options, expected benefits, common side effects and alternatives so you can decide together.
- Monitoring: Follow-up visits track symptoms, side effects, sleep, appetite and — when needed — lab work or vital signs.
- Adjustments: Doses are changed gradually and only with a clear reason; tapering is planned carefully to avoid withdrawal effects.
