Likely to have to pay entirely with loans

I won't receive parental support for medical school and, now that financial aid packages are being distributed, it looks like I'll have to pay full COA in loans. This will amount to $250-300,000 worth of debt. Looking at that number, I'm starting to feel like a bit crazy for going down this path, but I'm committed at this point and there is nothing that I'd rather do. Has anyone else taken out this amount of loans? How are you getting by?
