Not that specifically, but when I had my most recent mania (which involved AWFUL mixed-state agitation and anxiety) I absolutely tore the skin off parts of my thumbs. I picked and picked at it until the skin was a mess. When I finally got my meds properly adjusted and calmed down I actually had gel (artificial) fingernails done because the artificial nails make it so I cannot pick at my skin.

Any kind of drug that causes agitation (if you're bipolar an AD can set off agitation, definitely Adderall & other "speed" drugs) makes the tendency to skin pick really bad.
Thanks for this!
