Hi there, Deneb,
Phillipa is right. It's important to call your doctor for several reasons, one of which is that you might need an adjustment or "tweaking" of your medications. Although they are helping you, it's also possible that your current meds MIGHT be having unwanted side effects, such as apathy and fatigue. That can happen with either of those drugs, and the combination of the two might increase those side effects. That doesn't mean you can't take those meds. It might mean that the doctor can adjust the dosages or add something that can help energize and motivate you. Please explain to the doctor what you've told us, i.e., that school and science are VERY important to you, you want and need to do well, but because of the procrastination, amotivation and fatigue, you've been going through some pretty scarey moments, feeling desperate and panicky. Be sure to tell him how you just feel like sleeping all day, yet this is a very important point in the semester, so he must help you NOW!
I'm really sorry that Hammy isn't opening his eyes. Maybe he got some saw dust or dirt in them and developed an infection? Perhaps the vet can rx some ointment to put on his eyes.
Please take good care of yourself and call the doctor PRONTO! Don't blame yourself for symptoms that might very well be side effects of the medicines.
