Questions we hear about Medication Management
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
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.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
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.
