Hii,
Happy for you that you are under treatment for OCD.
Just want to say you that don't take any medicine by your own. You need to consult with your previous psychiatrist because he knows your symptoms very well .I think do follow up with the Dr. & ask him. That will help you definitely.
Thank you, have a nice day.

Bipolar depression is very different to normal unipolar depression and need very specific treatment. The treatment you are taking if not helping you, you need to take a second opinion from another psychiatrist nearby or online. I am sure you can easily get out of this depression with right treatment. I need more information regarding your illness history which is necessary to provide you perfect treatment. Consult a psychiatrist with detailed history for better treatment. All the best.

If your diagnosis is correct (bipolar disorder) than you should review your treatment once again.
You are taking too much antidepressant if serlift is at 300 mg dose.
You should mention history of manic and depressive episode and inter episodic recovery. If you are taking sertraline then paxidep is not required.
Kindly review your medicine.
