Question 6

good day,
i would like to find out, can someone who is bipolar, get clopixol & epilim  from the gp?
with a prescription ofcause

Accepted Answer

Healthy lifestyle : There are no biological markers used for a diagnosis of bipolar disorder &amp; so this is a subjective opinion. And there are many potential dangerous side effects from these drugs. So although a GP/Family Doctor can legally prescribe these drugs I suggest a complete re-evaluation by a natural health oriented GP/Family Doctor. And I suggest a healthy lifestyle with daily exercise &amp; good nutrition!

However, use of alcohol and other drugs could possibly do this.
