Sleep medication management that does not skip apnea
You should be able to name the drug, the target symptom, the main risks, and the next lab date.
What Medication Management actually includes
Genetic testing (pharmacogenomics) may change CYP2D6/2C19 probabilities. It is not a personality test.
ADHD titration follows a confirmed differential. Heart rate, sleep, appetite, and diversion risk are part of the visit.
Indications and differentials
Perinatal prescribing only with risk-benefit counseling.
Failed or partial response to a current agent after an adequate trial.
Hypnotics only after sleep differential, not as a standing nightcap.
Not indicated to supply controlled substances without a supporting diagnosis and monitoring plan.
Access from Davie
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Davie presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Davie patients who drive 12 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Davie 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.
Brand-to-generic switches changed your blood level and nobody noticed.

Davie FAQs for Medication Management
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
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.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
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.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
SGAs: weight, A1c, lipids; AIMS on a schedule.
Lithium: level, TSH, creatinine, pregnancy test as indicated.
Formulary alternatives offered without pretending they are identical.
Hyponatremia: BMP in older adults on SSRIs when symptoms fit.
Book Medication Management
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Medication Management, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.

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.
