Half of number one , and consequently all of the rest can/are ‘fixed’ by not drinking.
With or without further diagnosis or medications , what are your plans for future alcohol use?

I want to stay off it because I will never trust it again. If it can turn on you once that quickly then it can do it again. I hate seeing kids drinking cos I know that a certain percentage of them have dangerous alcoholic brain chemistry. If they have my type of brain chemistry they will turn into alcoholics in a minutes just like I did following new onset depresssion/bipolar

It's very common for people with mental health issues to also abuse alcohol. I've been on countless medications myself for severe anxiety and depression issues until I got on some that did help. It often times does take a while for this to happen, and it sounds like you've found the medication that worked for you, and in tern stopped the alcohol abuse.
