Well said kazoo! And to add, if one did find an unscrupulous online doc to do this, I guarantee that it would cost much more than seeing a live psychiatrist (the doc has to pay his malpractice insurance, which in this case, would be prohibitive - if he could get any insurance at all). Also, I believe that in the U.S., as in Canada, a doctor is legally able to write prescriptions only in the state (or province) in which he is licenced. - Cam
