I reduced down medication for a couple of months and then finially stopped taking it March 24th evening. Spring break from March 24th afternoon to Sunday April 2nd to have some time to see if I had any major withdrawal symptoms. Then after that there was five and half weeks of classes left. I delt with 4 tests, 4 papers, group presentation, and doing a final exam project. I remember for about two weeks after stopping medication that I slowed down cognitively, it took me twice as long to do things and was also fatigue, now at week 9 I am doing good not as fatigue as I was and cognitively its slowly picking up.
I am not smart, I just work hard and ask for help when I need it. I have a wonderful support system.This semester I took, “Understanding Trauma” (P), “Movie Madness: Psychology in Film” (P), “Traumatized child” (A), “Child Abuse” (A), “Weight training” (P), “aerobics” (P), Personality psychology” (A), and “Social Psychology” (A).
(The P is from a Pass/Fail course)
I have been dealing with the real underlining issues in my life that no amount of medications can fix.
