Can QuickMD clinicians prescribe mental health medications?

  • Updated

Yes. During an urgent care visit, our clinicians can prescribe non-controlled medications for mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, and mood support.

We can prescribe:

  • SSRIs (sertraline, escitalopram, fluoxetine)
  • SNRIs (venlafaxine, duloxetine)
  • Other non-controlled antidepressants (bupropion, mirtazapine)
  • Non-controlled sleep aids where appropriate

We cannot prescribe:

  • Controlled substances for mental health — stimulants (Adderall) or benzodiazepines (Xanax, Klonopin)
  • Medications requiring in-person monitoring or specialist oversight (lithium, clozapine)

For controlled mental health medications, please see a psychiatrist or your primary care physician.
