Are these medicines Used for OCD and bipolar?
I m 19 male and my pyscatrist gave me folllowing medicines:
1-duxil almitrine
2-vitamin b1
3-folic acid.
He said i m suffering frm bipolar disorder and OCD.
Are these medicines really used for that purpose or he is just lying to me for effective treatment
he also said u should exercise daily for an hour. And said many psycologist gave sleep pills for people of ur disorder
i feel like i m not social ,i have less concentration, i have anxiety problems and i feel like i understand things late sometimes.
Also my parents have first cousin marriage(my mom is my grandfather's brother daughter)

He’s lying to you. Those are actually used to treat Cystic Fibrosis. I should know, I suffer from it :(

that would be malpractice ?

All I found for Duxil/Almitrine is that it is used for certain lung diseases, but nothing for OCD or bipolar.
Vitamin B1 and folic acid would most likely be prescribed for alcoholism.
Where are you seeing this psychiatrist? It does not sound like any of those medicines are used for OCD or bipolar disorder.

They aren’t the standard drugs for OCD or bipolar, however it would unethical for him to give you a placebo. Perhaps he is trying to treat a physical problem first. Best just to ask him to be sure.
