πŸ’‘ Addressing Medication Effectiveness Concerns

Steps to take if your medication isn't working or if you're experiencing side effects, and how MindDemand helps.

Updated over 2 months ago

At MindDemand, we understand that finding the right treatment plan can take time and patience. Our goal is to provide you with the best care possible, and that includes closely monitoring your response to medication. Sometimes adjustments are needed to find the right dose or explore alternative options.

If you're not feeling better or are experiencing side effects, it's important to let your provider know. Here are some steps you can take:

  1. Keep Track of Your Symptoms

    • Before your next appointment, take some time to reflect on how you've been feeling since starting the medication.

    • Keep a journal or make notes on your phone to track any changes in your mood, energy levels, or side effects.

    • This will help you have a more productive conversation with your provider and give them a better understanding of your experience.

  2. Reach Out to Your Provider

    • If you're not feeling better or are experiencing side effects, don't hesitate to reach out to your provider. They are there to support you and want to help you find the best treatment plan.

    • Contact us via the chat widget, email at support@minddemand.com, or call us at 972-772-3630 to answer any questions and guide you through the next steps.

  3. Be Open to Adjustments

    1. It's important to remember that medication can take time to work and may require adjustments.

    2. Your provider may suggest changing the dosage or trying a different medication altogether. It's important to be open to these changes and trust that your provider has your best interests in mind.
