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 Ithaca who offer medication management.

On Alma, browse clinicians in Ithaca who offer medication management and bring your questions to a first appointment.

Question 3

Can my therapist and prescriber work together?

Question 5

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

Question 6

What happens at the first medication management appointment?

Accepted Answer

A first visit usually covers your history and goals. On Alma, you can ask a clinician in Ithaca who offers medication management how they like to start before you schedule anything.
