Medication management from the Hollywood medical home
If the diagnosis is wrong, no titration schedule will look like recovery. We will re-evaluate rather than stack drugs.
What Medication Management actually includes
Antidepressant management includes adequate dose/duration, activation screening, and suicide-risk follow-up after initiation.
ADHD titration follows a confirmed differential. Heart rate, sleep, appetite, and diversion risk are part of the visit.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Stimulants: BP/HR, sleep, appetite, PDMP, diversion discussion.
Opioid + benzo overlap is treated as a safety event.
MAOI diet and washout rules if that class is ever used.
Clozapine: ANC monitoring — we refer if we cannot meet the REMS cadence.
Sunrise FAQs for Medication Management
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
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.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
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 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
Decide: continue, adjust, switch, or taper — one primary change when possible.
No-show after a high-risk start triggers outreach.
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.
Check labs due for the current class.
Next step
Start with one thorough Medication Management evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
If Medication Management is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.

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.
