Hello IsoM
I do not mean to go personal, but the issue of academic or intellectal work performance interests me.
I agree that not working to potential is very stressful.
Why do you think celexa would have helped and not a benzo like Klonopin?.
Are you talking about depression or anxiety?.
Thanks> Thanks for the verification, viridis. I'm one of those in which Celexa did a world of difference. I wish I was on the combo I'm on now when I was taking university courses a few years back. During that time, I was being switched around on meds & felt so spaced out. In my chemistry course, I had an A at mid-term but because of the switch, I ended up with a C finally. I was very upset but could do nothing about it. The profs were very understanding & went out of their way for me, but nothing will compensate for a brain that won't work. On my final exam, a part about orbitals & atomic configurations that I knew thoroughly, just went blank on the exam. I stared & stared at the paper but nothing would bring it back. That's why when I hear of college students trying to take courses while fiddling with their meds, I advise to wait till everything gets sorted out. The stress of not working to potential can be unbearable, further adding to one's problems.
