A member asked:
Is it true that psychiatrists are allowed to prescribe 3 controlled substances at once?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Legally, Yes: Whether that is a good idea or a terrible idea depends, of course, upon the specific details of the patient's situation (symptoms, likelihood of misuse, concomitant medications, etc.).
