Questions we hear about Medication Management
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Is your practice discreet for Aventura patients?

Do you address image-related anxiety and mood disorders?
Yes. We treat the full spectrum of anxiety and mood disorders, including those related to social pressure, perfectionism, and performance expectations common in high-achieving communities.
