How do you handle school with sedation?

I find it hard to get anything done. I was higher functioning when I was psychotic for the most part.

I take a supplement called theacrine or something like that. It helps keep me awake without the negative side effects of caffeine.

Really there isn’t much you can do. Try to find the right med combo where you aren’t sedated.

The first full school year I was diagnosed was when I was a senior in high school. It was hard to even look at the PowerPoint presentation without falling asleep, or not fall asleep on the desk. Sedation does get better, have a little bit of coffee, tea, or soda with caffeine. Just don’t over do it
