Clinical FAQ
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
Can a PMHNP-BC prescribe psychiatric medication in Florida?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Prescribing is within Florida APRN scope, with monitoring.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
Do you evaluate menopause-related mood changes?
Yes. Many Coconut Creek patients come to us specifically for the intersection of hormonal changes and mood disorders. We offer comprehensive hormone panels alongside psychiatric evaluation.
How do I get to your office from Coconut Creek?
Our Hollywood office is about 25-30 minutes via 441 or the Turnpike. First evaluations are in-person; many follow-up med checks can be done via telehealth.
What we rule in — and rule out
Polypharmacy review when the list exceeds what the diagnosis can justify.
Need for metabolic or neurologic monitoring on an existing antipsychotic or mood stabilizer.
Antidepressants only after bipolar-spectrum screening.
mood stabilizer adjustment still has to map to a problem on the list.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Lithium: level, TSH, creatinine, pregnancy test as indicated.
Alcohol withdrawal is not managed as an anxiety refill.
Missed labs = delayed titration.
Benzodiazepines: indication, duration limit, taper language.
