> Hi

> I have rather long history of p meds. I started a new school about one and a half year ago, in a new location and new country. The problem is that I canīt get myself to do any homework, I donīt go to school because I donīt want to. Iīm very interrested in what iīm studying but I have no energy to do that. The reason I donīt go to school is social phobia so I canīt get any new friends. I first started my university studies back at home and there I achieved very high results and was always(well, almost..) attending at school, I had friends back there, old friends, so itīs was fun to go to school. I switched university because it has more to offer particulary in electrical engineering, which is what I read. Now Iīm desperately seeking advices from doctors and now from you, what shall I do?

heyFreaky but i know pretty much what you are going through. I also attend univerity and everyday is a struggle to stay focused and motivated (difficult cause i think meds have messed with my memory and dr. agrees for once). Things were so bad my dr. convinced me I needed to leave school for a while and get my act together. While I was out of school I was changing meds every 2-3 weeks (i hate my dr.....leave it at that).
I too suffer from social phobia and panic attacks and have found the only thing that works so far after 12+ different meds is MAOI's. However, I'm at that point of giving up and am considering something other than western medicine.
I just wanted you to know that someone totally gets what's happening and that if somehow I figure out how to get my act together I'd be more than happy to share it with you. If you know any secrets let me know.As for your meds...here's my 2 cents worth. Remeron was great the first week cause I got to sleep, but after that I was in a complete daze. Clonazepam....wasn't too bad.
Hope things get better!
