There are no FDA approved antidepressants available over the counter. Antidepressants need to be prescribed by a doctor because they aren’t right for everyone and may interact negatively with certain medications and medical conditions. When you start a new depression medication you may experience side effects and should be closely monitored by your prescribing physician to ensure your health and safety.
PlushCare makes getting antidepressants prescribed safe and easy. You can book a same-day appointment with a top online doctor and get depression medication sent to your local pharmacy or shipped to your door following your virtual consultation. During your visit, your doctor will perform a mental health evaluation and determine the best antidepressant for you. You can pick up your prescription from your pharmacy on the same day, or wait and get it delivered.
