Okay, I'm going to be the outcast to suggest a non-med method...if you feel better away from school, why not stop and do something else? If quitting school would cure my illness, I'd do it right away! You can't put a price on feeling well. Maybe you really genuinely need a break. I dropped out of Phd program and it didn't cure me, but I didn't kill myself like I was seriously contemplating at the time and I certainly don't regret dropping out. Look, it's your life and you only have one, why make it Hell if you know how it can be better. At least take some time off...maybe you'll feel better about finishing the phd later. At least you can have more time to experiment with other meds.
Well, that's my two cents. Good luck to you!
