Scott,
I'm not sure about bi-polar. I have not been diagnosed as such. I can say that SSRIs have brought on greater restless legs syndrom and greater bruxism. I know that these are related to anxiety for me. I know that OCD is an anxiety disorder.
The pdoc just added 1mg of Klonopin to be taken at night before I go to bed. This has worked really well and I have no anxiety during the day. I think that there is enough left in my system to carry over to the next day..
Well, best of luck.
