Struggling to Cope Without Meds

So I have been trying to cope without meds. Basically I have tried over 4 different types while I’m in college and going through the side effects while away from home and support systems was not a good idea. So far it’s been hard, I mean really hard without meds but I just don’t want to be alone going through the side effects. Anyways, the biggest thing that I can’t get over is how exhausted I am constantly. I can get 9 hours of sleep and wake up exhausted and all throughout the day I am barely making it through. I feel as thought this triggers me to feel even worse because I don’t have the energy to do things that bring me happiness. Any advice please!
