I'd be willing to bet that your grades (and life) have been affected by your illness itself, perhaps more than you are aware. I know this trialing of different meds is very hard at best - torment at worst BUT thank God (if you do), that you are getting help NOW rather than 20 years from now when much of your life has been stolen by an untreated illness. Sometimes, it takes quite a while to find the right med mix, the right doctor and even a correct diagnoses.
Change docs, see a true specialist in mood disorders, do whatever you have to do to get well. It will be worth the fight, even if right now you don't much feel like fighting.
Hang in there, girl. It CAN get better but you must see your illness for the dragon that it is.
Don't give up, because there is always hope. You are stronger than you think.
