Not what we : This is the HT public information site where volunteer docs answer questions about health conditions based on data you post. We don't prescribe/send notes/etc. There are other HT sites with direct care features (www.connect@healthtap.com). In most states a doc who prescribes to patients they have not evaluated can have their license revoked or restricted. You need to find a new doc.

No: It will not be right for you. Whenever starting long term meds, the goals of treatment as well as frequent checks should be in place as treatment always ends up needing to be adjusted or changed based on side effects or tolerance issues. It would be reckless to reduce the issue to numbers and drugs and that’s why it would be best to be established with a local primary care doc.
