ADHD medication titration after a real differential
Sunrise patients (22 min to Hollywood) can split care: in-office labs, video titration when stable.
Medication Management for Sunrise patients
Leftover 'affordable refill' slugs are not a cash-pay promise.
Telehealth medication management still requires Florida presence, identity check, and a visit note.
Questions we hear about Medication Management
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.
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
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.
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 22 minutes from Sunrise.
Do you accept insurance for Sunrise patients?
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. Call us at (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific coverage before your first appointment.
Can I get evening or weekend telehealth appointments?
We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate work schedules. Contact our office to discuss available appointment times.
From intake to follow-up: Medication Management
Document why a requested stimulant or benzo was declined.
Confirm the target symptom and the diagnosis it belongs to.
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.
DSM-5-TR framing for ADHD med titration
Failed or partial response to a current agent after an adequate trial.
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis that has an evidence-based pharmacologic option the patient wants to consider.
Need for metabolic or neurologic monitoring on an existing antipsychotic or mood stabilizer.
Bridge care after hospitalization until a stable outpatient cadence exists.
How Sunrise patients actually get here
Sunrise (Broward County) has about 96,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 22 minutes from Sawgrass Mills and the Amerant Bank Arena district.
ZIP 33313 is the lead postal code listed for Sunrise. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Counsel on onset, alcohol, driving, pregnancy, and overdose risk.
Check labs due for the current class.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Opioid + benzo overlap is treated as a safety event.
Formulary alternatives offered without pretending they are identical.
Hyponatremia: BMP in older adults on SSRIs when symptoms fit.
SGAs: weight, A1c, lipids; AIMS on a schedule.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Medication Management. Mention Sunrise so staff can plan in-office versus Florida telehealth for the first visit.
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

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.
