GeneSight-informed trials after failed antidepressants
Pharmacogenetics can shift probabilities after failed trials. It does not pick a winner from a menu.
Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Functional psychiatry does not mean 'no medication.' It means medication plus the labs that could change the choice.
ADHD titration follows a confirmed differential. Heart rate, sleep, appetite, and diversion risk are part of the visit.
Outcomes we target — without promising them
Side-effect naming (akathisia, hyponatremia, SIADH, SJS risk) instead of 'you feel weird.'
Clear instructions for missed doses and alcohol.
Start low, go slow when the class requires it; go to a therapeutic dose when the evidence requires it.
Documentation suitable for a covering clinician.
Telehealth follow-up when the patient is in Florida and the case is stable enough.
Lauderhill FAQs for Medication Management
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
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 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.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
Does Dr. Chatelier understand Caribbean cultural views on mental health?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is Haitian-American and deeply understands the cultural perspectives on mental health common in Caribbean communities. She provides respectful, culturally aware psychiatric care.
