My therapist thinks I'm bipolar. Before I saw her my pcp had me on Lexapro. I changed overtime in a similar way. I started drinking regularly and heavily. Spent the night in jail... Ended up tapering off Lexapro without talking to the doc about it. And I am much calmer. My therapist told me that with bipolar ssris have a tendency to make it worse. I had thought the Lexapro was working in the begining but idk... It just put me in the fucked up state of willing to fight over anything. And it all falls apart because then people start hating you.
