Hello Bekka,
I'm a Geography/Political Science double major at the University of Texas at Austin. I had to get a medical withdrawl last semester since Remeron & then Effexor XR side effects made it impossible to go to class, let alone study.I have been readmitted for Fall of this year & have signed a lease for a place to live so I really need to get better by August 27 so I can graduate the spring of 2003.
So far psychiatry has been a big disapointment (Alcohol is a better anxiolytic/social phobia med than Klonopin, SSRIs or anything else out there)- I got better grades when I was a partied like a rock star three nights a week, but as soon as I started taking an anti-depressant all my grades dropped like a rock- I would have been kicked out of UT Austin permanently had I not pursued & received a "mental health medical withdrawl" last semester. Ironically, the main reason I wanted to take an antidepressant (Zoloft) was so I could talk to girls at parties without having to be drunk- Seeking help through psychiatry turned out to be a major life changing roadblock/mistake. I would be graduating in May had I never set foot in a psychiatrists' office. (Looking back, I should have waited till after college to try anti-depressants).
