Hi I am on medication checks for a mental illness and have been since 4-2011. How do I get free from the med checks and still get perscritipons for my medication? I was in the mental illness program at the place that I see the psychiatrist for 23 years and got off of disablityby my self and got a job right a way as a mhpp and now I am dietary supervisor with people working under me and I am tired of going to med checks. Can my family doctor prescribe my medication?

Can only be prescribed by a psychiatrist. Your family physician is not authorized to write up the prescriptions for the same,instead you should look for a psychiatrist willing to take a flexible approach.
