Med checks with a problem list, not a clipboard
Hormone therapies prescribed elsewhere are reconciled so serotonergic and endocrine plans do not collide blindly.
What Medication Management actually includes
Tapering is scheduled. Paroxetine, venlafaxine, benzodiazepines, and stimulants each have different withdrawal physics.
Genetic testing (pharmacogenomics) may change CYP2D6/2C19 probabilities. It is not a personality test.
Local context for Medication Management in Broward County
Clozapine-level monitoring was skipped after a near miss.
You fear dependency, so you skip doses and then crash, which looks like 'nonadherence.'
Brand-to-generic switches changed your blood level and nobody noticed.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Hallandale Beach 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.
Hallandale Beach (Broward County) has about 42,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 12 minutes from Gulfstream Park and the A1A beach district.
Revisit the original diagnosis if two classes have failed.
Check labs due for the current class.
What we rule in — and rule out
Failed or partial response to a current agent after an adequate trial.
Antidepressants only after bipolar-spectrum screening.
ADHD medication only after the evaluation supports ADHD over mimics.
Hypnotics only after sleep differential, not as a standing nightcap.
Clinical benefits of a complete Medication Management plan
Respect for patients who prefer the smallest effective regimen.
Pregnancy and lactation counseling before the prescription is sent.
PDMP review before controlled substances.
Coordination with HRT/TRT so endocrine and psychotropic plans are not accidental.
Deprescribing as a clinical goal when the risk/benefit flips.

Clinical FAQ
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
How close is Hallandale Beach to your office?
Our Hollywood office is only about 10 minutes from Hallandale Beach via US-1 or I-95. We're very convenient for Hallandale residents.
