I am supposed to be getting taken off my medication (Prozac) in April. However, there are a few things that are seriously worrying me. Firstly, I might have to spend most of my life or a very very long time on the meds - as it took so long for my body to respond my counsellor reckons that I might have to go back on it as soon as I come off it! This means I will have to go through withdrawel coming off it and then go through induction all over again!

Also, I don't think I am ready. I will tell my doctor this when I see him for what should be the arrangement of coming off my medication. basically, I am having problems sleeping and I seem to be slowly slipping into that spiral into depression.

I used to be such a good student. I remember getting high grades in everything. So yes...I am getting fantastic grades in IT and I am in the gifted and talented group, and I got an A* in Biology, but I suck at everything else!

Before depression got the hold of me I could work and concentrate and go school but as I spent so long without these abilities I lost my will in every lesson except IT and perhaps biolgy...wow I feel depressed for the first time in what?...2 months ? *Sigh* I need a mircale, some understand, reassurance, help to get back on track with school work and a loada hugs.

I love you all and I probably couldn't have made it with the 1 year I have spent in these forums (maybe a bit less than that but oh well). Those of you that I havent met...Hi, Gimme A HUG Please! lol

It's good to hear from you (((((((( In The Darkness ))))))))))

You are gifted and talented in a couple of subjects, that is absolutely wonderful!

Let you Doc know if you feel you could do with staying on the meds a bit longer.

Take care.
