At this time, Psyched has a select number of available in person openings for patients desiring federally controlled medications prescriptions (see chart below if you question what falls into these categories).

Psyched does have a staff Physician and Psyched is able to prescribe stimulant medications for those with documentation demonstrating a formal diagnosed of ADHD or other FDA approved indications (this can be done through your Psyched provider).

Psyched follows evidence based practices for Benzodiazepine and Hypnotic, Nonbenzodiazepine Benzodiazepine Receptor Agonist and like potential habit forming agents.  Psyched will  limit long-term use (>4 weeks) and begin taper protocols.  Psyched limits these prescriptions to cases for which there is evidence that nonpharmacologic treatments are not available or not effective and benefits are felt to outweigh risks

Drug Schedules:

Drugs, substances, and certain chemicals used to make drugs are classified into five (5) distinct categories or schedules depending upon the drug's acceptable medical use and the drug's abuse or dependency potential. 

• Schedule I: substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Some examples of Schedule I drugs are: heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana (cannabis), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy), methaqualone, and peyote.

• Schedule II: substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a high potential for abuse, with use potentially leading to severe psychological or physical dependence. These drugs are also considered dangerous. Some examples of Schedule II drugs are: combination products with less than 15 milligrams of hydrocodone per dosage unit (Vicodin), cocaine, methamphetamine, methadone, hydromorphone (Dilaudid), meperidine (Demerol), oxycodone (OxyContin), fentanyl, Dexedrine, Adderall, and Ritalin

• Schedule III: substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence. Schedule III drugs abuse potential is less than Schedule I and Schedule II drugs but more than Schedule IV. Some examples of Schedule III drugs are: products containing less than 90 milligrams of codeine per dosage unit (Tylenol with codeine), ketamine, anabolic steroids, testosterone

• Schedule IV: substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a low potential for abuse and low risk of dependence. Some examples of Schedule IV drugs are: Xanax, Soma, Darvon, Darvocet, Valium, Ativan, Talwin, Ambien, Tramadol

• Schedule V: substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with lower potential for abuse than Schedule IV and consist of preparations containing limited quantities of certain narcotics. Schedule V drugs are generally used for antidiarrheal, antitussive, and analgesic purposes. Some examples of Schedule V drugs are: cough preparations with less than 200 milligrams of codeine or per 100 milliliters (Robitussin AC), Lomotil, Motofen, Lyrica, Parepectolin

• Other medications monitored by the Ohio Reporting System: substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with lower potential for abuse than Schedule V, but are still monitored due to the risk potentials such as Gabapentin

Yes.  Psyched advocates for individualized treatment plans and patient autonomy.  Psyched is a big advocate of start low and go slow, thus we will discuss options available and allow you, as an integral part of your treatment team, to guide this plan.

You can still discuss nutraceutical and / or behavioral options such as sleep, movement, relaxation, and nutrition, or simply focus on counseling, therapy and coaching techniques.
