Additionally, while "sick" as in pneumonia may not merit official accommodations, but is worked out between professor and student, "sick" as in psychiatric diagnosis and on medication long-term should, but you have to apply for such accommodations. You cannot bring them up post facto, whether or not the department chair knows about them.

I wasnt on long term psych meds- I dont take psych meds generally outside of my vyvanse. The meds I was experiencing side effects from were brand new, hence the even stronger side effects, I didnt have the two week adjustment" period to have side effects go away.
And I did NOT tell him it was for psychiatric reasons, I told him only one medication-TOPAMAX- bc it ISN'T a psych med- its commonly prescribed for migraines. I have not told him even once that I had a psychiatric diagnosis, and I didnt apply for anything bc I just didnt expect those kinds of side effects. I should have, from past experience- but I didnt.
