Questions we hear about Medication Management
What if side effects start this week?
Call the office. Do not wait for a distant follow-up if symptoms are severe. ER for emergency symptoms.
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 10 minutes from Dania Beach.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
