Hormone-aware psychiatric prescribing
Polypharmacy is treated as a risk to be justified, not a badge of complexity.
What Medication Management actually includes
Leftover 'affordable refill' slugs are not a cash-pay promise.
Tapering is scheduled. Paroxetine, venlafaxine, benzodiazepines, and stimulants each have different withdrawal physics.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
New antidepressant: short-interval follow-up for activation and SI.
Clozapine: ANC monitoring — we refer if we cannot meet the REMS cadence.
QTc risk: ECG when combining high-risk agents.
Alcohol withdrawal is not managed as an anxiety refill.
How Medication Management is structured
If side effects appear, do not wait for the next quarterly slot — tighten follow-up.
No-show after a high-risk start triggers outreach.
Counsel on onset, alcohol, driving, pregnancy, and overdose risk.
Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.

Coconut Creek (Broward County) has about 58,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 32 minutes from Promenade at Coconut Creek and the Butterfly World district.
Coconut Creek sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Medication Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Hyponatremia on an SSRI in an older Coconut Creek patient was never checked.

Reconcile the current list, including OTC, cannabis, and hormones.
