I doubt its the lithium-try looking at life stressors instead.

Dextroamphetamine is known to treat OCD. And 5 mg of adderall is a low dose tto be getting that kind of effect. Stop tthe adderall if you think its the culprit and see if your OCD goes away.
I doubt the aderall is causing the diarrhea. Lithium is your main culprit...Raising it may or may not cause the diarrrhea to get worse.

NO. Lithium does not treat OCD. Treatment of OCD starts with an SSRI, SNRI, TCA, Mirtazapine, etc.
