My meds aren't helping anymore and I have no one to talk to about that. I don't know what to do anymore.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. The last time I house sat, I was afraid to go outside because there were a lot of cats and I was afraid they'd go running off. Thankfully, we were all in one piece by the time my friends came home.
Can you take a prn like vistaril? Benzos would be great, but even for a short time could be hard to get off of (depends on everyone's personal experience). I'm sure it will mostly be fine, though.
ETA I forgot to ask whether there's any sort of medical clinic you could get to?
