Hi /sci/ I used to be an extremely bright student, debating with my professors and never getting anything less than an A on tests, my strength was mathematics. Currently I'm 8 months after finishing accutane and I've lost all motivation since 2 months into the drug, I look the best I ever have but on the inside I'm a rotten unmotivated piece of shit. How can I rebuild my love for the sciences?

How much time has passed since you (for real) studied math or physics?

>blaming your problems on an acne drug
there is likely something more than that contributing to your feels
>>8462169
maybe you're doing social things that distract you from science or fulfill you enough so you're happy without feeling good about your grades.
>debating with my professors
Oh. You were that guy. Shut the fuck up and keep your comments in your head. Email them after class or go to their office you inconsiderate autistic prick.

>go to their office
This.
Teacher hate pretentious faggots like op, I always talk to them after class if I have to and they are more than happy to discuss
>>8462169
>debating with my professors
There's one in every bunch.

lool i thought accutane would be like some heavy accutane.
>acne drug
holy shit whats wrong with you. maybe its a change in you independent of it?
Depression is a known side effect of accutane, so maybe you had that side effect and it triggered latent major depressive disorder.
School just started actually being hard. Freshman and sophomore years at uni are jokes. You probably are either realizing A's don't matter and nobody gives a shit but you about it or school is starting to actually get hard and boring.

I'd say I haven't studied any of my courses for about 4 months or so, I have 0 motivation, almost like I physucally can't bring myself to try

I could attribute it to these things due to the fact I've become increasingly social and have always been a lazy fuck, although it has never bit me in the ass until now

Profesors usually enjoy a bit of intellectually sparring, if I noticed it wasn't warranted or appreciated I would stop
>>8462442
Maybe I have changed but its as though accutane has completely revamped my personality and view on life, and not in a good way.
>>8462460
I was thinking this could be the cause as both my parents have been depressed along with other family members. Also lately I can barely pull myself out of bed and rarely genuinely smile
>>8462464
Basically ya this can also be attributed to me being a lazy fuck
>>8462670
How tf is that paranormal at all, I'm simply stating I don't feel like the same person after taking this high potency drug.

>taking this high potency drug
You have no clue what "potency" means
There's some basis to what you're saying though, up to 1 in 1000 patients experience various psychiatric symptoms
>>8462758
I do know what potency means, and by using that word I was referreing to the degree in which I believe this drug affected my psychiatric health
>>8462808
Potency refers to binding affinity at a biological target.
>by using that word I was referreing to the degree in which I believe this drug affected my psychiatric health
Which is not an intrinsic property of a substance. https://www.aaronmbrown.net/blog/2012/04/know-your-fallacy-category-error/
You're implying it's intrinsically riskier and "does more" without bothering yourself to pin down any consistent meaning of "more," how it's done, or how this can be measured. And using this implication as "evidence" for what you're saying. http://philpapers.org/archive/SHATVO-2.pdf
Fuck, it's like when some guy binges for a week on some "designer" sterically hindered high molecular weight cathinone with an effective dose 3x that of amphetamine, kicks a police station door at 3 AM and the media starts raving about how "potent" bath salts are. Magical thinking pisses me off
