Plus you really should at least try it. No one can make you stay on it if you don't like it but you don't have to live with the ups and downs. You are talking now about not even going to school because of it. You will eventually have to work whether you go to college or not. Then what happens? You are going to have the same highs and lows and employers aren't going to be too receptive to that either.
Just a few months ago I realized that I had gotten to the point where I wouldn't plan anything. I couldn't make a plan with a friend on Tuesday to do something with her on Saturday because I couldn't predict if I was going to feel well enough to do it. That was when I truly realized that I had to do something. That is no way to live.
You know that you're not happy now and you don't want to continue that way. I am not saying that medication can fix everything but it can alleviate them and help you to be the person that you want to be. It's always your decision whether to continue the meds , but I sure think that it's worth a shot.
Good luck..
