Managing Prescription Medications

Your Prescription Medications: what you need to know

  1. ADHD medications
  2. All other medications

 

ADHD Medications

REQUIRED:

  1. Formal neuropsychological testing or an evaluation by a psychiatrist diagnosing ADD/ADHD within the past 5 years
  2. A current prescription, stating dose and details such as how many times per day the medication is taken

Once we have that information

  • You can schedule an appointment with a provider (NP/MD) for a medication refill 
  • A controlled substance contract will be reviewed and signed
  • You can get a prescription for a ONE-MONTH supply of your medication
  • The provider will send the prescription to a pharmacy of your choice. The Student Health Center does not have a pharmacy on site. 

What We Will Do

  • Check your blood pressure and weight each month
  • Screen for problems with your current dose
  • Write a new prescription every 28 days as needed

What We Won’t Do

  • Re-write prescriptions that were lost/misplaced/ damaged/stolen
  • Refill early, unless we are making changes and titrating doses
  • Initiate medication treatment for ADD/ADHD

All other medication prescriptions

Non-ADD/ADHD Medications

  • Birth Control
  • Asthma meds
  • Acne meds
  • Blood Pressure meds
  • Anti-depressants
  • Others

What to do

  • Make an appointment to see a provider (NP/MD) for a medication refill
  • Bring in your pill bottle or pack
  • We may require notes from your physician or provider who prescribed this
  • We may need to arrange for lab testing or exams before refilling
  • The provider will send the prescription to a pharmacy of your choice. The Student Health Center does not have a pharmacy on site. 

We reserve the right to refuse to prescribe any medications. In these cases, we will arrange for you to consult with a physician or specialist. This mainly refers to controlled substances.
