Rainbowzz, most GPs or internists don't want to prescribe psych drugs because it just isn't their speciality. They'll usually give you a one-month refill, if you're seeing a psychiatrist but can't get in to see him before the Rx runs out. They aren't going to take full control of your psych care though.

You wouldn't have a gastroenterologist monitor and prescribe your cardiac meds.

Does that make more sense?
