O have some klonopin but it doesnt help much and i dont like relying on benzos. The only thing that seems to help is drinking. Whats wrong with me? I have no appetite, ive been puking. Why isnt lexapro working all of a sudden? Do you think I might have some form of Bipolar? Please help.

Hey dude, I'm not a doctor but you should see one. There's a form of Bipolar disorder characterized by the 'mixed states' that you describe, so you should see a psychiatrist at your earliest opportunity for diagnosis and treatment. Relying on drinking is just as dangerous as relying on benzos, which is exactly how I justify my own dangerous reliance on benzos. Best wishes for a speedy recovery from your discomfort.
