Questions we hear about Medication Management
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
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 benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
