What should a new client know about working with you?
MyCHN Providers will no longer be prescribing certain medications including benzodiazepines, adult stimulants, anxiolytics, mood stabilizers and hydrocodone unless medically necessary with current prescription bottles. This change is part of patient initiative. Although these medications can be effective for certain treatment use, all departments agree with the quality management team that certain medications are creating too high of a risk for our patients such as dependence or abuse over the long term. These medications include the generic or brand name listed below but are not limited to:
• Soma, Xanax, Valium, Ativan, Lorazepam, Diazepam, Clonazepam, Klonipin
• Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse, Methylin, Intuniv, Concerta, Straterra
• Vicodin, Norco, Hydrocodone, Hycet, Lortab, Fentanyl, Morphine, Oxycontin
Your provider will work with you on a plan to discuss the medication safety, refer you to a behavioral health consultant and/or psychiatrist or refer to a pain management consultant or a chemical dependency program.

Was pretty much a waste of my time because she couldn't prescribe me anything new and I was telling her what I was taking wasn't working and I was looking for a new psychiatrist because of different reasons with my previous one also she couldn't prescribe me anything for anxiety that I have been taken and I have been going through a lot I lost my close family member not too long ago and all she did was prescribe the same medicine I've been taking that I told her it was not working so I'm not sure if I would recommend her
