New med... hard to study.

I've been put on Perstiq and so far, I have not gotten much studying done. It's hard for me to sit down and focus.... Which makes me wonder how is this semester going to turn out? If I can't study well... then what can I do?

I know I"m not tollerating this med well, and I want off of it, but my doc thinks it's the right one for me to be on. I have to try, but how do I study if I can't focus??

Any ideas on how to get myself to study would be appreicated. I'm having a hard day because of it, and the fact that I slept through my morning class didn't help.... I"m lost and confused in Chemistry, Struggling in Physics and Haven't even read yet for Abnormal Psychology which starts in a half hour.... Any Ideas would be appreciated

I don't really have any ideas other than try for 15 min at a time, it can be easier knowing you only have to concentrate for a short period of time. If you haven't already, I would recommend registering with the disability services of your school, they can help you with academic strategies or with get a postponement of an exam if needed. I completely skipped an exam once due to depression and they reschedule a date for me to write it.

Oh that's a good idea until I get caught up. I have talked with the disability service, I need to go in tomorrow to talk with them and get the letter finalized. But for now I just hope tomorrow goes better.

For now, I think sleep may be in order, since I'm not getting anything done.
