How do I get a prescription for antidepressants or other regular medications in Germany?

✓ Answered · 1 min read · Community · 96 views

To get a prescription for your regular medications in Germany, you should first visit your family doctor (Hausarzt). Most antidepressants can be prescribed by a family doctor. For more specific situations, they might refer you to a psychiatrist. Keep in mind that the active ingredient of your medication from your home country might be sold under a different brand name in Germany.
