If psychologists were ever able to prescribe medicine, would they see a profit from it?

I'm kind curious for the reasons they are pushing for psychologists to be able to prescribe medicine. Would they make a dime off of it?
Answer:
Psychiatrists can prescribe medication but do not make any money off it. You pay the pharmacy for the medicine, not the doctor. Psychiatrists sometimes make money from pharmaceutical companies by carrying (and distributing) those free samples, but that's it.

I would imagine psychologists, if they could prescribe medications, would be no different.
