That's what psychiatrists do, they medicate their patients. If you eventually leave this psychiatrist because you feel he over medicates you too, try a psychologist instead. In MOST states, psychologists aren't licensed to give out medications or prescriptions. HOWEVER, in the state of California, I think psychologists ARE licensed to give medications and prescriptions. But I would assume they would be much less likely to do so because the law that said psychologists in California can give medications and prescriptions is fairly new.
