Tyson.
I do know something of what you are experiencing. I had to medically withdraw in my second year. I just couldn't get the grades I needed when I couldn't concentrate and was always dragging. (It wasn't MG - -it was severe hypoglycemia. Passed out a few times my readings would drop so low.)
It turned out to be a blessing - cause the grades that I was pulling would have irrevocably ruined my GPA.
Talk to your guidance prof and your doc. Medical school requires a solid GPA. Don't risk messing that up if you can't keep up while you are working to stabilize your MG. This is the big league now - - there aren't any do overs once those grades hit your transcript and your classes will only get more demanding with each new semester. (I was prevet and believe me, freshman year was a cakewalk. My 'do over' 3rd semester was calc, organic, physics, micro, and some silly 3 credit elective I can't remember!!)
It isn't easy - or fair. It just is. So you have to figure out what is best for you and your goal of medical school. If money isn't an issue, maybe you could withdraw and audit classes. This protects your transcript and yet would allow you to determine how much you can take on until your MG is stabilized.
