[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 553958, member: 1169"] medications can help, but sometimes finding the right medications takes some trial and error. My daughter was on Depakote (no response), Trileptal (no response), Geodon (groggy all the time), Adderall (super crabby), and many more. She is now on Thorazine, Seroquel and a low dose of Vyvanse...she finally feels like she is in control and not the mental illness. Are you attending NA? Getting direct support from others who have been there is so critical. The 12 steps really do work. It was smart of you to drop those two classes. Now you have time to focus on getting better. Do you have access to mental health services through the student medical center? Not all phosps are the same. You may want to research and find out which one near you is best. I'd hate for you not to get help just because of that bad experience. My friend's brother killed himself last month. I do not think my friend will ever be the same. He is going to be missed by so many people but buried in depression, he couldn't see how deeply he was needed in this world. Your parents sound like they love you completely -- for your dad to give up his life to help you lead yours in safety and with support shows that you are so very, very important to them. Please keep reaching out for help. [/QUOTE]
