Psych Meds 101 (feat. Dr. Shari Allen)

Dr. Shari Allen (@mentalectpharmd) is a psychiatric pharmacist and comes on the show to talk all about psych meds and the importance of personalized treatment  Some of the questions we cover include:  • How do you know the difference between side effects that will pass and the ones that mean a medication isn't right for you? • How can we better advocate to our care providers to be listened to when it comes to how meds are or aren't working for us? • What is the most exciting medication advancement for mental health in the last 5 years? • Do you see any up and coming medications that might help with borderline personality disorder? • What makes SSRIs so different from one another when they have the same mechanism of action? • Are PRNs for anxiety as common as they seem to be on TV?
