98>I have cancer and when I asked my oncologist for anti-anxiety medication he said he would give me enough for one month but that I need to find another Dr. to prescribe them after that. I have had anxiety and panic attacks for years, and now after being diagnosed with cancer it's gotten worse. I take prozac but it only helps my depression. Thanks in advance for answering!
Reply:Any doctor can prescribe medications. But your best bet is to see a psychiatrist. There are many different meds for different conditions, and a psychiatrist is likely to know more about more of them than a general doctor.
You might want to find a talk therapist or a support group to talk out your problems too. Cancer is a really heavy thing to handle on your own.
I wish you the best. Take good care of yourself in all kinds of ways.

Reply:Your PCP can prescribe any and all medications. A psychiatrist is a licensed medical doctor who furthered their career by studying psychiatry after getting their medical degree.
Reply:You don't have to go to a Psychiatrist to be prescribed anti-anxiety meds. Other doctors can do that for you. Best of Luck!
