Question 1

What is medication management?

Accepted Answer

If you are new to medication management, it helps to know what you are signing up for. It is ongoing care with a clinician who is licensed to prescribe, including the follow-up appointments that come after a first visit rather than a one-time prescription. What that schedule looks like is up to you and the clinician. On Alma, browse clinicians in Los Angeles who offer medication management.

Question 2

Should I consider medication?

It is okay to feel unsure about medication. A clinician licensed to prescribe can talk with you about your history, what you are hoping for, and what they would want to know before deciding anything. On Alma, browse clinicians in Los Angeles who offer medication management and bring your questions to a first appointment.

Question 3

Do I need a therapist if I see a prescriber?

Accepted Answer

In Alma's Los Angeles directory, filter for medication management and for therapy, then compare clinicians before you book.

Question 5

I already take medication. Can someone on Alma manage it going forward?

Question 6

Accepted Answer
