What to Expect from Medication Management

Whether you choose telehealth or make the trip to our Laurel office, here's what you can expect from our medication management services — designed to fit your life, wherever you are in Ellicott City.

01

A Thorough Medication Evaluation

Your first appointment is a comprehensive evaluation — typically 60 to 90 minutes — where Dr. Fosu takes time to understand your symptoms, medical history, and previous experiences with medication. She reviews any current medications and explores what has — or hasn't — worked for you in the past. Whether you're joining from Ellicott City via telehealth or visiting our Laurel office, you'll receive the same depth of care. This isn't a quick checklist; it's a real conversation about your mental health and treatment goals.

02

Careful Prescribing & Monitoring

When medication is part of your treatment, Dr. Fosu prescribes with care and precision. She starts with low doses and monitors your response closely — adjusting as needed based on your feedback. If side effects come up, we address them. If something isn't working, we adjust. This is an ongoing conversation, not a one-time decision. For Ellicott City residents, our telehealth option means you can have these conversations without the 20-25 minute drive.

03

Coordinated Care with Therapy

Medication works best when it's part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Dr. Fosu coordinates with therapists and other providers to ensure your care is integrated and seamless. Psychiatric evaluation is available for new patients, and we make sure all your providers are on the same page.

01

What does medication management actually involve?

Medication management is a comprehensive, ongoing process where Dr. Fosu prescribes, monitors, and adjusts psychiatric medications to find what works best for you. It starts with a thorough evaluation of your symptoms and medical history, followed by careful prescribing with low doses. She monitors your response closely — including side effects — and adjusts as needed. Regular follow-up appointments ensure your treatment stays on track and adapts to your changing needs. Whether you're in Ellicott City or anywhere in Maryland, we're committed to finding the right balance for you.

Book your first appointment to get started.

02

How long does it take to find the right medication?

There's no single timeline — everyone responds differently. Some people find the right medication within weeks, while others take months to find the right combination. Dr. Fosu starts with low doses and makes gradual adjustments based on your feedback. The goal is to find a regimen that effectively manages your symptoms with minimal side effects. We'll work closely with you to monitor your progress and adjust as needed. For Ellicott City residents, our telehealth option means you can have these conversations without the 20-25 minute drive.

Many patients also benefit from anxiety treatment or depression treatment alongside medication management.

04

What if I experience side effects from my medication?

Side effects can happen, and you should never feel like you have to tolerate them. If you experience side effects, let us know right away — we'll work with you to adjust the dose, try a different medication, or explore other options. Dr. Fosu takes a careful approach, starting with low doses and monitoring closely. Your comfort and well-being are always the priority. If you need urgent help, call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to the nearest emergency room — Howard County General Hospital is close to Ellicott City. For non-urgent concerns, call our office at (240) 360-7308. Bipolar care and trauma recovery are also available for patients who need them.
