A written consultation suits a refill of a medicine that helps, a first conversation about low mood or anxiety, or sleep that will not settle. Sleeping pills and tranquillisers are not started in writing. If you are in danger right now, call 911; for thoughts of self-harm, call or text 9-8-8. $50, charged only when a clinician replies to you.
A Canadian physician or nurse practitioner replies to you in writing, within 24 hours. Any prescription goes straight to your pharmacy. No account, no booking, nothing to set up until the end.

Just talk. Nothing to sign up for.
Yes, the first-line medicines, when an assessment supports it. A physician or nurse practitioner reads your answers, including the two standard questions clinicians use for mood and anxiety, and replies with a plan: a medicine with a follow-up date, counselling first, or both. Tranquillisers are not started in writing.
Yes, commonly. Tell us the medicine, the dose, how long you have taken it and how it is going. A refill of a medicine that helps is a short reply with a follow-up date.
Sleeping pills and tranquillisers are not started in writing; they need an ongoing relationship with a prescriber. What the reply can give is a sleep plan, a non-addictive option when one fits, and a check for sleep apnea when snoring and pauses are reported.
A licensed physician or nurse practitioner reads your request and replies in writing; that is the online doctor here. Medicines are prescribed only when the assessment supports it, with a follow-up date.
A set of questions about what is going on, since when, your sleep, past treatment, alcohol and substances, and one plain question about thoughts of self-harm, asked because every clinician asks it. The clinician reads everything and replies.
No. It is a clinical assessment in writing. The reply can point you to counselling, including free options in Ontario through the Ontario Structured Psychotherapy program and 211, with or without a medicine.
This page is not for emergencies. If you are in danger right now, call 911. For thoughts of suicide or self-harm, call or text 9-8-8, any time, free, anywhere in Canada.
Thyroid problems and anaemia can look like low mood and tiredness, so a requisition often rides with the reply when yours is more than a year old.
Everything is in writing and seen only by the clinician who accepts your request. Your information stays in Canada and is deleted on a schedule.
$50, charged only when a clinician replies. Antidepressants and most anxiety medicines have inexpensive generics at the pharmacy; without insurance the monthly cost is usually small, and Ontario covers people under 25 without private coverage through OHIP+.
I've run out of my blood pressure pills and my family doctor retired last month. Can I get a refill?
Yes. I've sent three months of your blood pressure medication to your pharmacy. Please have your blood pressure checked within the month so your next renewal is straightforward.
Not covered by provincial health plans — your own doctor or a walk-in clinic remains free.
