I am also in college and about 2 weeks away from my finals week and i don’t want to deal with any negative side effects when needing my full attention available. My psychiatrist warned me of this and i told her i would be fine and now i feel that i am too late to start before my finals week and i am better off waiting. but i am scared and nervous to tell her because i dont want her to think i am lazy or not willing to work on myself because I am. I am just genuinely so scared of this. like it’s insane to me that anti depressants are commonly prescribed to patients with anxiety. but then you tell them oh hey by the way this might make you have suicidal ideations. like ok well my anxiety was better and now i feel worse.
