Psychiatric Medication Consultation

Psychiatric Medication Consultation (PMC) is an outpatient visit focused on evaluating mental health symptoms and tailoring a medication plan to improve stability, functioning, and quality of life.​

Purpose

  • Optimize current medications for effectiveness and tolerability, and reduce side effects or unnecessary drugs.​

What happens

  • Detailed review of symptoms, history, prior treatments, current medications, and substance use, often including rating scales or questionnaires.​

  • Discussion of medication options, expected benefits, side effects, monitoring needs, and alternatives such as psychotherapy or lifestyle changes.​

  • Development of a collaborative treatment plan, including follow-up schedule and how to handle side effects or crises.​

What to bring

  • List of all medications, supplements, and past psychiatric drugs (with doses and how they worked or what side effects occurred).​

  • Notes on current symptoms, triggers, sleep, substance use, and any prior hospitalizations or therapy, plus questions and treatment goals.
