First, it depends what field of medicine you practice. An OBGYN is not going to review psych meds; nor is an orthopedic surgeon going to review your ADHD meds. Unfortunately medicine has always been a business where quantity is valued over quality. It’s a shame. We spent half a million dollars becoming physicians only to have big pharma and other institutions that have no clinical experience dictate who we see in what amount of time we see them. This results in poor outcomes, quickly satisfying patients needs and moving on. It’s a shame. That’s why I resigned last month. I can’t compromise my integrity as a physician because we are being pushed to see patients every 7 min.

1000% agree. Unfortunately some patients have the knowledge to know what to say to get the prescription or, because medicine has turned completely into patient satisfaction, physicians are afraid if they don’t satisfy the patient they will get poor reviews. Proper protocols are in place in each state and this medication is highly regulated. I have never rx”d it nor will I as I am not a mental health professional.
