Yeah, I think you should tell him too. Just because he's a psychologist doesn't mean that he doesn't have a lot of info about medications. It just means that he isn't allowed to prescribe them. In my experience, my Ts have had a lot of useful things to say about meds. He's probably seen many clients go on and off of various medications, and I'm sure he'll have opinions. And, anyway, he might notice a change in you, and it would probably be useful for him to know whether that's a med related change, or something else in your life.
Having read your posts lately, it does seem like a pretty good idea to try Prozac again, if it has helped you in the past. I don't know you well, and I'm no expert, but you have sounded rather depressed lately. And it sounds like it's getting in your way with the school work.
By the way, do you think it's possible that some of your problems getting going with schoolwork could be related to your feelings about having to leave your T when you graduate? I mean, in a subconscious way? Since, if you don't graduate, you might be able to keep seeing him for longer, right? Just a thought.
