Especially interested in if you can get Cipralex/Lexapro. Can any doctor write the prescription or does it have to be a therapist?
Thanks

If it's a mental health medication only a psychiatrist can write the prescription (the first time); a family physician can renew it twice or three times after that.

Not true;
A family doctor can prescribe Cipralax. They can also prescribe stronger anti-depressants. Not all doctors are comfortable doing this but the kupa allows them to .
A therapist CAN NOT if they tell you they can give you meds and they are not a psychiatrist RUN.
I would advise getting an evaluation from a Psychiatrist, because the family doctors don't necessarily know anything about mental health and some meds can do more harm then good if they are given for the wrong disorders. The kupa has psychiatrists and they pay for 4 visits a year .
I have a great private one who Meuhedet C gives you back 80% if you want the info.

I can get Israeli equivalents of Zoloft, Buspar, and Depakote. You CANNOT get Latuda here for love nor money. It's only available in Canada and the US. Having to taper down off of it right after making Aliyah was a nightmare!
