Have you recovered entirely by now? How long did the symptoms last for to get back to normal, did you take other measures to recover or just giving some time and less stress did it for you?

I took lexapro (anti depression drug, ssri class drug). It took about 1 month to be mostly functional again and about six months to be back to normal.

I took all the pressure off, stopped coding but continued university. I still finished the semester with excellent grades - but it was business school.

Never experienced anything like that ever again. I work hard, usually 7 days a week, but I'm careful not to push past my limits and I keep stress down, exercise, sleep well, and try to eat healthyish.

Thanks for sharing the details. Glad you made it through pretty fast, sounds like a valuable experience to know your limits.
