Gilbert medication guide
Using psychiatric medication safely in Gilbert
The risk I worry about most isn't the prescription I write. It's the old bottles in the cabinet and the over-the-counter pills nobody mentioned. Gilbert Police run two drop boxes for unwanted medication, and Poison Control answers at any hour. Don't start, stop or change a psychiatric medication on your own — bring the question to your prescriber. Everything below is public or nonprofit; I checked each one on its own website in October 2026.
- Clear out old medication Gilbert Police take unwanted medications, vitamins and pet medications at two drop boxes; the Civic Center box is open 24 hours. No liquids or needles.
- If there's a mix-up Poison Control, 1-800-222-1222, answers at any hour, whether it's a double dose, the wrong pill or a child who got into a bottle. If someone is unresponsive or can't breathe, call 911.
- Bring the whole list Every prescription, supplement and over-the-counter pill, with doses and timing, plus alcohol, cannabis and caffeine. Bring it even if it feels like too much detail.
- For medication management with me It starts with the 75-minute evaluation, $450 self-pay. After that, follow-ups are 30 minutes and $150 self-pay, in person in Gilbert or by telehealth anywhere in Arizona. With insurance, we check your benefits before the visit; that's a check, not a guarantee. I review what you take and why before changing anything. Request an evaluation
