I have depression and have been on celexa for 6 years straight now. What kind of paperwork do I have to bring when I see the dr? Is perscription records enough? (up to the current date)

Thanks everyone for your time!

Do a google search for "MMAR Doctors", many of them will do Skype Sessions, you can find the forms you need at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/marih.../index-eng.php.

You'll need a diagnosis from your specialist that outlines your ailment, as Depression is category 2 so you'll need form B2, accompanied by your specialist's name, contact info etc for verification of the diagnosis. You do NOT need your specialist to sign anything, you ONLY need the diagnosis from them, once you have that, you can have any GP that can prescribe narcotics (T3's, Morphine, Dilaudid (Hydromorphine), Oxycodone etc) sign off on your MMAR documents.

i need this too, i dont even kno where to begin, ive just been self medicating, i thot it was too big of a hassle. Im in ontario canada

Damn, the only problem is I don't even remember who the dr is who diagnosed me.
It was 6 years ago and I've just been on the same dose for 6 years! Its like the docs put me on pills and just leave me on them, with no signs of me ever getting off them.

So im guessing prescription records isn't sufficient?

Any idea of how I would go about getting my diagnosis if i don't even know who the dr is who diagnosed me in the first place?
(get another diagnosis? lol)

thanks again everyone!

Unfortunately, you'll need to acquire a diagnosis from a specialist, this means either shifting through your prescription records to locate the original prescription, all bottles will have the name of the Doctor who prescribed the medication on the label, or contact the person currently writing out your prescriptions, as any specialist who is continuing your medication is aware of your condition, as they are filling out prescriptions to treat you. As far as I'm aware, there is no "Unlimited" number of refills on prescriptions, no matter what the condition is, therefor, someone has to be writing your prescriptions on at least a monthly basis, have this person retrieve your records from either their own, or the psychiatrist who originally prescribed the prescription. No better place to begin your search for your diagnosis than with your current prescription writer.

Perfect thanks for the info that was everything I needed!

I already have a diagnosis... Written and I think signed too...

I have been looking all over for a doctor in Ontario (GTA), but everyone says "google this" or "google that".

Fact is, this doesnt work because no doctor advertises the fact they support cannabis.

I just need a doctor to sign my forms :'( someone please help me find a doctor... Mine wont sign, he is oldschool... He also has his own rehab center, whcih he referred me to :S

I dont need rehab, I need my medical marijuana :'(

Anyone with the basic understanding of how google works knows this is an effective route. You will not find clinics advertising that they sign, but you will find list's on other forums and websites of doctors who have signed for people already.

There's no better route than to contact a doctor who has already signed someone else on their MMAR.

In addition, the "Google "MMAR Doctors"" advice that I have given has landed at least a few people an appointment within this and next month for signing their MMAR. While I myself have not given out a single doctors name. I think the correlation speaks for itself.

Lists such as this http://johnturmel.com/doctors.htm (found by google) are outdated

I thought that would be the best way myself, but I do not know a single person with a license...

I am a programmer, I use google all day long. I know more than just basic understanding of Google and how to use it, but like I was previously mentioning NO doctor will advertise they will sign... I have not yet seen one list that is accurate, and are in my province. Most results are people asking for referrals, and they get their replies as PM. No one will list any names out in the open.

Google of "mmar doctors" returns too much garbage, spam, and scams (pay me x dollars for referral)... Googling ""mmar doctors"" returns 5-10 results...

Again, I beg for help.
