Yes—an online psychiatry/medication-management service can often take over psychiatric prescriptions, but it has to be a licensed prescriber in your state and they must be willing to continue the specific medication you’re on.[2][15][16]
Good options to look at are:
- Talkiatry — a large U.S. online psychiatry practice that offers medication management and, according to a 2026 comparison, serves patients across 43 states; it may also prescribe some controlled substances when clinically appropriate.[13]
- Brightside Health — offers structured online psychiatry with medication management and measurement-based treatment for common conditions like depression, anxiety, panic, and insomnia.[13]
- Cerebral — provides therapy and medication management in all 50 states according to the 2026 comparison, with appointments sometimes available quickly.[13]
- Grow Therapy — also listed as offering online psychiatry and medication management, with coverage that can vary by clinician and state.[16]
- Doctor On Demand / Included Health — can review prescriptions and send refills to your pharmacy from a board-certified physician, though controlled-substance coverage may be limited.[5][17]
- LiveHealth Online — can prescribe many psychiatric medications, but it cannot prescribe controlled substances.[17]
A few important points:
- If you take a controlled substance such as certain ADHD medications or benzodiazepines, availability is more limited and depends on the platform, the clinician, and current telehealth rules.[1][13][17]
- The new clinician will usually want a recent evaluation before continuing prescriptions, even if you’ve been stable on the medication for years.[1][15]
- The service must operate in your state of residence, since prescribing rules are state-specific.[2][13]
If you want the fastest path, the best fit is usually:
- Talkiatry if you want a dedicated psychiatry practice,
- Brightside if you want structured medication management,
- Cerebral if you want broad state availability,
- Doctor On Demand or LiveHealth Online if you mainly need a simpler refill-oriented visit.[5][13][17]
If you tell me your state and the medication name, I can narrow this to the services most likely to continue it.
