Antidepressant and mood-stabilizer management in Broward County
Tapering is a procedure. Stopping paroxetine or a benzodiazepine 'cold' is not a plan.
What Medication Management actually includes
Leftover 'affordable refill' slugs are not a cash-pay promise.
Antidepressant management includes adequate dose/duration, activation screening, and suicide-risk follow-up after initiation.
Visit flow for Medication Management
Document why a requested stimulant or benzo was declined.
Decide: continue, adjust, switch, or taper — one primary change when possible.
No-show after a high-risk start triggers outreach.
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
How Hollywood patients actually get here
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Hollywood include Hollywood Beach, Hollywood Hills, Emerald Hills, and the Davie Road Extension corridor. ZIP codes 33019, 33020, 33021, 33022 map to this service-area page.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Hollywood presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
If side effects appear, do not wait for the next quarterly slot — tighten follow-up.
Reconcile the current list, including OTC, cannabis, and hormones.
Clinical FAQ
Can medication management be telehealth?
Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 0 minutes from Hollywood.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
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.

Access from Hollywood
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Hollywood presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Hollywood 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.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Hollywood patients who drive 0 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Trazodone plus an opioid plus a benzodiazepine was never reconciled.

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.
