ADHD medication titration after a real differential
Polypharmacy is treated as a risk to be justified, not a badge of complexity.
What Medication Management actually includes
Functional psychiatry does not mean 'no medication.' It means medication plus the labs that could change the choice.
Mood-stabilizer adjustment uses levels, kidney/thyroid labs, and teratogenicity counseling when relevant.
Clinical FAQ
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
Can medication management be telehealth?
Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
What insurance do you accept for Pompano Beach patients?
We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross, United, and more. Call (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific plan before your first visit.
Can you prescribe medication at the first appointment?
After a thorough psychiatric evaluation, Dr. Chatelier may recommend medication as part of your treatment plan. Initial evaluations typically last 60-90 minutes to ensure we understand your complete picture.
