ADHD medication titration after a real differential
If the diagnosis is wrong, no titration schedule will look like recovery. We will re-evaluate rather than stack drugs.

Hormone-mood medications are reconciled with estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone plans.

Coral Springs (Broward County) has about 134,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 32 minutes from Downtown Coral Springs and Mullins Park.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Coral Springs presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.

Three benzodiazepines from three apps, no taper plan, and a PDMP that tells a story nobody reviewed.
Questions we hear about Medication Management
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 32 minutes from Coral Springs.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
Do you work with patients dealing with trauma-related anxiety?
Yes. Our psychiatric evaluations thoroughly assess anxiety and trauma-related conditions, and we create comprehensive treatment plans that may include medication, therapy referrals, and functional testing.
Is telehealth available for Coral Springs patients?
Absolutely. Many Coral Springs patients use our secure telehealth platform, especially for follow-up medication management appointments. It saves the drive while maintaining quality of care.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Coral Springs 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.

No-show after a high-risk start triggers outreach.
Review PDMP and allergies.
Monitoring and safety in Medication Management
Stimulants: BP/HR, sleep, appetite, PDMP, diversion discussion.
MAOI diet and washout rules if that class is ever used.
Lithium: level, TSH, creatinine, pregnancy test as indicated.
SGAs: weight, A1c, lipids; AIMS on a schedule.
Indications and differentials
Hypnotics only after sleep differential, not as a standing nightcap.
Intolerable side effects that might respond to dose change, switch, or adjunct.
Polypharmacy review when the list exceeds what the diagnosis can justify.
Not indicated as a replacement for inpatient care when risk is high.
Next step
If Medication Management is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
