Hi,

so ummm after high school I got straight into uni and started my degree in social community welfare and counselling straight away. To start with I was doing OK both managing my mental health and study. But then I was put on seroquel and things just went down hill from there...

I found concentrating on my studies incredibly hard to the extent that opening up my books just brought on so much anxiety as I was starting to fall behind and was beginning to fail. And so started me dropping subjects in the hope that if I took a semester off and started the subject the following semester then I'd be in a better head space and would be able to pass. A few years of me dropping the same subject and re starting them though I was made to leave uni completely.

Now though.. many years on and my GP is wanting me to start a course of some kind (something in animal studies he was thinking) but I am once again back on seroquel and on a high dose so I don't know if I should even try to study again

is anyone on any psych meds and feel that you can't study on them or even concentrate? I have been trying to get back into reading novels (use to read a hell of a lot) but I even find that challenging and find it really difficult to remember just what it is I am reading

any advice anyone?

Thanks for reading!
