I can't comment about OCD medication but I'm posting this as a bipolar patient as a warning. Do not I repeat do not take sedatives antipsychotics(there are lots of antipsychotics for bipolar and schizophrenia that are sedatives) for more then a couple weeks with out planning to take it long term. Sedatives mess with your sleep function and destroy your ability to sleep naturally. I can no longer sleep with out a sedative because a drug called zyprexa destroyed my ability to sleep naturally. Zyprexa can cause both diabetes and lots of weight gain and cause other side effects. There are couple of drugs like it but just thought I should mention that a the medications themselves can sometimes bring up side effects that are almost worse then the mental illness can really mess with your brain permeantly.
