If I am physically in Alberta, can an Ontario psychiatrist still prescribe my Vyvanse?

If you are physically in Alberta, an Ontario psychiatrist generally cannot be assumed to keep prescribing Vyvanse as if you were still in Ontario. Physicians typically must be licensed in the jurisdiction where the patient is located. College policies and FMRAC telemedicine principles are often cited for that idea. If the change is persistent, distressing, or affecting daily functioning, bring a brief timeline to the prescribing clinician rather than changing the dose independently.

I was in Alberta for work with an Ontario psychiatrist on the calendar and I assumed video would cover a refill. The Alberta pharmacy was not impressed. I felt stranded in a rental kitchen. I did not take extra leftover to compensate. This is only that trip. I would not count on an Ontario pad working from a hotel. I ate cereal that night.
