Medication Management for Davie patients
Leftover 'affordable refill' slugs are not a cash-pay promise.
Sleep medication management asks whether the drug is treating insomnia or hiding apnea and alcohol.
Questions we hear about Medication Management
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
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 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.
How far are you from NSU?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 10 minutes from Nova Southeastern University's main campus, making us a convenient option for students seeking psychiatric care.
Do you treat college students from Davie?
Absolutely. We work with many college-age patients on ADHD management, anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders common in academic settings.

If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Medication Management so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
