It will take awhile to find the right meds so unfortunately even with a pdoc which is a step in the right direction you won't be feeling better right away.
Just know that school is always there. Even if now is not the right time for you, you can go back, whether it's next semester or next year or even later than that. You need to take care of yourself first.

Hi LilacLime, I hope your app't goes well. I agree with what wildflowerchild said above. You need to take care of yourself first. Part-time or volunteer work could get you out of the house as much as school did. And you could always go to your school's library and read up on the subjects you're interested in taking.
Since your school has medical leave you shouldn't even get any w's on your transcript for this semester's courses. Trying to "gut out" the semester when you've missed so much, and you're trying to get stable with new meds, is a recipe for trouble.
Just my 2 cent's worth.
all the best,
Randy
