How do I deal with side effects from psychiatric medication?

Side effects from psychiatric medication are common, especially when starting a new medication or adjusting doses. Many side effects are temporary and improve as your body adjusts, while others may require medication changes. Don't suffer in silence - communicate openly with your doctor about any side effects you're experiencing. They may be able to adjust your dose, change the timing of when you take it, or switch to a different medication. The goal is to find effective treatment with manageable side effects.
