Did you ever experience a kind of mental paralysis or anxiety when you had to do a thing? Like, when I'm unmedicated, if I'm doing something like reading a book or watching television or staring at a wall, and I know I need to take a shower, I'll become physically ill at the possibility of making myself do anything other than what I'm paying attention to. In school and professional life, this...revulsion isn't the word, and neither is illness, but the anxiety of it just drives me over the edge.

Shesh, this is me. The problem I've faced is that, as a chronic sufferer of tensions headaches, the stimulants made me miserable and welbutrine literally did nothing. I've gone without medication for a while thinking that I could go it alone my last year of grad school but after months of zero progress on my thesis I've got to make some changes. Any suggestions?

edit: I should say that the stimulants worked fine but after they wore off I'd have a monster headache nearly every evening, so I ended up just refusing to take them. Maybe some kind of benzo to take the edge off?
