Conservative medication management refers to the practice of prescribing the minimum effective dose of psychiatric medications, only when clinically indicated, and always in combination with other therapeutic modalities when appropriate. Unlike one-size-fits-all or high-dosage models of care, this method prioritizes:
Our providers evaluate each case holistically, accounting for biological, psychological, social, and lifestyle factors before initiating or modifying medication.
At Resiliency, our psychiatric providers use conservative prescribing for a wide range of mental health concerns, including:
We are especially experienced in working with individuals who are sensitive to medications, have experienced adverse side effects in the past, or are looking to taper down from long-standing prescriptions.
We take the time to understand your full story, not just your symptoms. Our conservative medication approach typically follows this process:
Each new patient begins with a 60–90 minute psychiatric intake, during which we review your full medical history, prior treatment experiences, lifestyle factors, and symptom profile.
If medication is warranted, we discuss treatment goals, medication options, expected effects, and risks in detail. The choice to begin medication is always made in collaboration with you.
We start with the lowest clinically appropriate dose and adjust only as needed over time, monitoring closely for therapeutic benefit and any unwanted side effects.
Follow-up visits are used to assess how you’re responding to the medication, address any concerns, and determine whether the medication remains necessary or can be reduced.
We may recommend therapy, TMS, functional lab testing, or nutritional guidance to support long-term outcomes, ensuring medication is only one piece of your wellness strategy.
Our practice is designed around integrative psychiatry—blending conventional medical science with holistic wellness approaches for sustainable results.
