Do you see a therapist? Maybe you can talk to them about the possibility. They would be able to help you weigh up the positives and negatives of going back to school.. or even your doctor may be able to help you talk through what the medications should do that would affect your school work.

I would maybe take a course or two online, go part-time or to a local community college, take courses you "need" that are transferable to most other 4 year institutions. Take it slow and see if it is what you want and can do at the moment. The meds can't do it all; you can't steer a car that isn't moving.

These other folks make sense to me....Alas, the meds I take have fried my brain. I was a college professor and had to go on disability! But it just depends on your circumstances. I see some people on here have finished their degrees, but they've often had to take their time in doing so.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
