Medication Works Best When Taken Consistently

Psychiatric medications work by creating balance over time. Skipping doses or stopping suddenly can lead to symptoms returning—or feeling worse.

If you’re having side effects, feel “off,” or aren’t sure a medication is helping, talk to your provider before making changes. Adjustments can almost always be made safely.

Medication isn’t about changing your personality. It’s about helping your brain function more smoothly so you can feel more like yourself.
