A member asked:
Can a normal doctor (not psychiatrist ) prescribe you dopamine agonist , for mental disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes they can : Any physician can prescribe psychiatric medicines. If one has been evaluated and treated by a specialist, and is mentally stable, then i see no reason why it would not be safe for a pcp to continue prescribing.
