ADHD medication titration after a real differential
Tapering is a procedure. Stopping paroxetine or a benzodiazepine 'cold' is not a plan.
Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Booking a med check is booking a medical visit, not a vending machine.
Genetic testing (pharmacogenomics) may change CYP2D6/2C19 probabilities. It is not a personality test.
Access from Plantation
Plantation (Broward County) has about 92,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 18 minutes from Westfield Broward and the University Drive medical corridor.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Plantation presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Plantation 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.
Trazodone plus an opioid plus a benzodiazepine was never reconciled.

Clinical FAQ
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
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 I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
How long is the drive from Plantation?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 15-20 minutes from Plantation via 595 or Broward Boulevard. Telehealth is also available for follow-up appointments.
Do you take a functional approach to psychiatry?
Yes. Beyond traditional medication management, we investigate root causes including hormone levels, thyroid function, and nutritional deficiencies — an approach Plantation patients particularly value.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Stimulants: BP/HR, sleep, appetite, PDMP, diversion discussion.
SGAs: weight, A1c, lipids; AIMS on a schedule.
Alcohol withdrawal is not managed as an anxiety refill.
MAOI diet and washout rules if that class is ever used.

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.
