Can you elaborate more on what you mean by "in order to feel something?" Like, what does alcohol do for you? What is the "something" that you feel when you drink?
Lots of people self-medicate depression or anxiety with alcohol and other drugs. I think there are safer and more effective ways to go about feeling better. I hope that your meds kick in soon -- you might find that when they do, you no longer desire to drink. If that doesn't happen, Chris's suggestion (naltrexone) might be worth a try -- I don't know too much about it, but it is supposed to relieve alcohol cravings.
Best of luck to you.
