I also have OCD, which is sometimes called the doubting disease, so each time I make a med change, I have to take a few days off or more to remind myself that I need meds.
There is drug induced mania, and some doctors will not say your bipolar because of that. I have had more drug induced mania than natural mania. Going from one doctor to the next, you will get different answers to the same question.
