Surprisingly for myself, I have been on anti-depressants and benzos for at least 8 years now. Prior to that, I didn't even now I suffered from depression, PTSD, anxiety, etc. I thought I was doing well all those years. I raised my kids (still am), I've held great jobs, I'm a nice person (so people say). I did notice that I would do what I call "freak out", by hiding myself in the closet and rock back and forth crying/screaming so no one could see or hear me, but I just thought it was because I don't like myself much and if I made a mistake, I certainly didn't want my kids to see my reaction, much less know about it. Apparently I wasn't as stable as I believed. I ask this question because I have had a few psychiatrists, but they don't seem to listen or "hear" me. Its as if before I walk in the door for 45 min. appt. that is actually only 15 minutes, there is a scrip written (which I don't get the chance to say, I've used that, doesn't work), and again as everyday, I know I'm not heard

First permit me say i'm sorry you're having returned problems. sure...the discomfort IS authentic. A discomfort administration Dr could have the means that may well be useful you. The clininc I went to DID prescribe discomfort meds alongside with numerous different strategies of scientific care. (Injections, etc) i'm stunned the neurosurgeon did no longer propose a discomfort hospital too. Are you having any tingling or numbness on your legs/feet? If a nerve it rather is being pinched by the herniated disc maintains to be pinched too long, it could and could reason everlasting injury. additionally please be careful of going to a chiropractor for this. It each and every so often reasons greater injury than it does solid. do no longer supply up on in seek of the superb scientific look after your returned. it truly is beneficial to contemplate getting a 2d opinion and this time circulate to an orthopedic backbone expert. (that's who I see) I desire you the superb. continual discomfort is hard to handle.

This depends on the Nurse. What is her real title? Nurse Practitioners and Clinical Nurse Specialists can give you meds a Registered Nurse can't. You need to look at the kind of nurse this person is and look up that type so you can understand what he/she can do.
Here is a site to look at for more information on Nurses and what they are as well as a few other things about them.
As for the other information you have given us. You really need to look at the wall of shame (there degrees) you need to look up these people and find out more about them and if your getting meds in the first visit then there is something really wrong here this should not happen you need to report them to the Medical Board ASAP. Psychiatric Doctors should never do this. Even if lets say you had to see another Doctor in that office because your last doctor left the practice or there needed to be a review on his/her pratices as a Psychiatric Doctor. You really should never have meds your first visit EVER. Your problems sound like its not something that needs Emergancy Care like a person that is mentally not fit to be in public without meds. You really need to do something more aobut this.

If she is a nurse practitioner she should be able to but it sounds like she might not be. Nurse specialists or clinical nurse specialists have a master's degree and can do counseling but cannot prescribe meds. He/she might be a nurse practitioner though and would be able to write a prescription, you just have to ask.

Not in my 30 years of experience. No even a licensed psychologist. Only a physician, particularly a psychiatrist, can prescribe medications.

Not unless the doctor has it on file - as a standing order an MD must issue all medications. (they must have Nurse Practitioner Furnishing certificate to do so)!
Otherwise a nurse can only give medications not prescribe.
