Whether or not you choose to use a more traditional form of medication or look to find an alternative form or “non-traditional” form of medication to help treat your mental health dysregulation, results have been found in both and even a combination of. Traditional medications for mental health disorders can be classified into categories such as anti-depressants, anti-anxiolytics, anti-psychotics, mood stabilizers, and stimulants. Many come with unwanted side effects but if started at a low enough dose and titration is moved slow enough to the therapeutic dose, you can usually mitigate these side effects. Non-traditional forms of medications can include but are not limited to supplements such as magnesium, Rhodiola, Omega 3’s high in EPA and DHA, and GABA Trex. There are also safe medications that can be used outside of their designated purpose that can be used to help with anxiety, depression, and insomnia. These medications can be used on a as needed basis and are non-habit forming. There is a lot of research being conducted on other forms of non-traditional medications that can be helpful in finding mental health wellness. Some of these are Low Dose Naltrexone, Oxytocin, and even Psilocybin microdosing. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I believe exploring all avenues of medications and therapies prior to committing to one form or the other is crucial in your success to finding optimal well-being. I would be more than happy to help in this journey of optimal wellness and guide you in the direction you so desire.
