My psychiatrist retired. Which online service can take over my prescriptions?

Sorry to hear that — you have good options. Several reputable telepsychiatry services can take over ongoing medication management; which one will work depends on what medications you take and what state you live in (controlled substances like stimulants/benzos are more tightly restricted). Here are services to consider and why:

• Teladoc Psychiatry — national network of board-certified psychiatrists, accepts many insurers, can provide ongoing med management where state rules allow. Good for continuity and insurance-covered visits.
• Doctor on Demand (now part of Included Health for some employers) — offers psychiatry visits and medication management with licensed MDs/psychiatrists; widely used and insurance-friendly.
• Amwell Psychiatry — hospital-affiliated telepsychiatry and medication management; useful if you want clinicians tied to health systems.
• PlushCare — focuses on continuity with repeat visits, many psychiatrists available and prescription refills handled promptly (subject to state laws).
• Brightside Health — specializes in medication management for depression/anxiety with frequent follow-ups and outcome tracking; good if your needs are mood/anxiety focused.
• SteadyMD — pairs you with one doctor for ongoing care (more continuity-focused) and can manage prescriptions long-term for accepted conditions.
• Zocdoc / Psychology Today — not prescribers themselves, but excellent for finding local or tele-psychiatrists (in-person or telehealth) if you prefer to switch to a local clinician or need a specialist for complex meds.

Practical next steps

1. Ask your retired psychiatrist’s office to send your records and a medication list to your chosen service/doctor (you’ll generally sign a release).
2. Check which services are licensed in your state and whether they’ll prescribe any controlled medications you take.
3. Verify insurance coverage or self-pay pricing before booking.
4. Book an initial medication-management visit, bring current med list, recent records, and pharmacy history.

If you tell me what state you’re in and which medications you take (or whether any are stimulants/benzodiazepines), I can narrow this to the services most likely to be able to prescribe for you and help check insurance/availability.
