I will be seeing a psychiatrist for the first time this week and am really hoping that I will be prescribed medication for my anxiety/depression in my first visit.
My anxiety has been really awful lately and really want to get started on a medication. How likely is it that I will be prescribed medication on my first visit with a psychiatrist? I have been on medications in the past but none have worked and my doctor said I need to see a psychiatrist to get stronger medication.

It's pretty likely that you will be prescribed medicine your first visit.

I think it's likely. Especially today where there's a big emphasis on medication in psychiatry, and especially if it's a situation where your primary care doctor hasn't been able to find an effective treatment for you. In particular if during the visit you explain that that's a goal for you.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
