	Doctors widely prescribe drugs without adequate scrutiny (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In choosing which drugs to prescribe, doctors often select medications for patients despite a lack of conclusive medical evidence of their effects and safety, according to a new study led by a researcher at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
		The findings, which will be published May 8 in the Archives of Internal Medicine, are believed to be the first estimate based on a sizeable data base of the actual number of off-label prescriptions among the 100 most-used drugs and 60 other randomly-selected, commonly used medications.
		The medication gabapentin was prescribed off-label most frequently-about 83 percent of the total prescriptions for that drug.

	Why doctors prescribe off label
		Although many patients are unaware of it, physicians often prescribe drugs for a disease, or at a dose, or for a patient type that's different from what the FDA has sanctioned.
		Before a drug can be prescribed at all in the United States, the manufacturer must convince the FDA that it is both safe and effective in at least one disease.
		Off-label prescribing also is very common among cancer doctors, who are willing to accept the risks of unapproved treatments when their patients are running out of options.

	War on Pain Control (DRCNet Activist Guide 10/96)

	ABQjournal: Psychologists Prescribe Wrong Cure for Mental Health Care
		State legislators, strongly lobbied by psychologists, are considering a bill to permit psychologists to prescribe psychiatric medications to their patients.
		The really bad consequence is that if psychologists in New Mexico are permitted to prescribe medications, we will have even more difficulty attracting qualified general and child psychiatrists to the state.
		The psychologists then propose doing the equivalent of about 10 weeks of clinical work, which can be supervised by a single physician, in contrast to the several thousands of hours of training over four years after completing medical school in which psychiatrists have to be supervised by an entire medical faculty.

	Why Psychologists Should Not Be Licensed to Prescribe Drugs
		To maintain prescribing abiltiy, the psychologist must carry malpractice insurance, complete 20 hours of continuing education annually, and collaborate with the patient's primary physician.
		Over the past decade, 14 state legislatures have rejected psychology prescribing legislation after objectively considering the scientific data and the public health risks of placing potent medications for treatment of mental illness in the hands of people with no medical education or residency training.
		To properly prescribe drugs, it is necessary to know when they should be prescribed, when they should not be prescribed, how they might interact with other drugs, what side effects might occur, and what to do when adverse effects do occur.
