Hi Christina,
Very good description. Sounds familiar...
I have read pramiracetam is good for getting organized. Unfortunately it is expensive. it lacks side effects.
For some the stimulant amino acid DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) is very good and have a calming effect. It is safe and cheap.
propranolol is a beta blocker that can help with fear.
Dilantin helps some people to focus, but is is a problematic drug.
Maybe 5HTP could help (but you are on AD). I am just thinking loudly, I could not try these meds except for propranolol, which helped sometimes.
Maybe the antidepressant you are taking needs time.
I think in these cases psychotherapy is needed.

> I am consumed by such a fear and anxiety when it comes to finishing certain projects... especiallay with my job.
> Sometimes it gets so bad, I want to run away.
> It's been a common theme in my life for as long as I can remember.
> I'm currently on an AD, but it's not helping.
> Even the great suggestions I've read on this thread don't really help me, because I am literally paralyzed with fear and unable to put them into practice.
> One project in particular (for which I have already received three extensions)is no where near finished and I'm supposed to have it ready today.
> I could lose my job over it, and yet here I sit... I can't even answer my phone for fear of my boss asking me for the project.
> I want to disappear.
