I go to my PCP fo rmy meds. I have to make an appointment once every two months and she fills the script for two months at a time.

Psychiatrist mostly. When I ask GP I get a referral since GPs I’ve been to are hesitant to prescribe it

My former husband got his from his GP but that guy was pretty loose with the Rx pad. He died of a massive heart attack a couple of weeks after getting a clean bill of health from him and his psych med scripts
