Medication Management in Falmouth
Falmouth professionals are practiced at managing everything, which is why their anxiety and depression arrive at our door years late, managed, minimized, and finally unmanageable. Between travel calendars, Foreside commutes, and a town where reputations are neighbors, the local default is to handle it privately, indefinitely, without help. That's what unmanaged medication looks like, and it's fixable. shrinkMD delivers real medication stewardship to Falmouth: board certified clinicians, measured follow up, and visits that fit your actual schedule.

Why shrinkMD
Why Falmouth chooses shrinkMD
We make actual help as private as handling it alone: secure video from home or office, scheduling that flexes around travel weeks, and continuity across the ten states we serve when the calendar leaves Maine.
There is no insurance billing, so no claims data exists anywhere, and records move only with your signature. Flat fees, published before booking, same clinician every visit.
What's included
How medication management works here
Everything starts with your medication story: what you take now and every psychiatric medication you've tried, each with dose, duration, and response, because that history is the strongest predictor of what will work next. Changes are then made one at a time, at sensible doses, and judged against validated symptom scores rather than impressions.
Expect visits every two to four weeks while adjusting and every one to three months once stable. Side effects get adult guidance, what fades, what to report, and how to switch safely, and tapers are planned rather than abrupt. We deprescribe when a medication stops earning its place, we don't prescribe controlled substances, and labs, when needed, are coordinated through your local clinic or lab.

Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
Is this discreet enough for a small town?
Structurally so. Nothing to see, nothing billed, nothing in any database. Discretion here is architecture, not a favor.
Can my college age kids be seen too?
Yes, adults 18 and older, each as private individual patients, with continuity through school and after.
How often will I be seen?
Every two to four weeks while starting or adjusting, then every one to three months once stable. The cadence follows your response, not a fixed grid.
What if my medication causes side effects?
You get clear guidance on what fades within two weeks, what deserves a message, and what means call now, and switches are planned rather than abrupt.
Will you coordinate with my primary care doctor?
With your permission, yes, in both directions, so interactions get caught and both plans pull the same way.
