The big thing is that in a lot of cases here the meds aren't that different.. with maybe ADD being the difference, so it depends on how important a dx, name or label is to you. i've known many people whose dx have changed depending on which pdoc they see. Is your T a psychologist? A PhD here where i am is licensed to test someone using this test..shoot...um Minnesota Multiphasic something or other.. which is like a 2 hr test. Maybe you could be referred just for testing if not?
Like i said though, with OCD, cyclothemia, BPII the meds are pretty much the same. If you do have OC traits you might want to try clomipramine as an AD if you go that route, it's shown the best results for OCD.
hope you find the answers you need
much love and peace
