Im not saying this to lecture you on being on a med,but however even if you were to decide to go off for good its usualy proven tapering off is best.It can probuably be safe to say this in your case as well for what would seem to be a fairly simple task for "normal" people seems like a very difficult one for you,i know,i have been there many times where a simple drive to my pharmacy after a few days of not having my med seemed dreadfull,i literaly slugged my way there,BUT i was sure glad i did when the medication took to me.
Do you have or use any benzo?Maybe a low dose of benzo can help give you just enough of a nudge to get a script,then at least you have the option of tapering off if you do decide you want off of the med,i commented here cause i know exactly what youre feeling,common tasks beging to feel overwhemling,this just seems to spiral and spiral,if this seems like you,id recomend doing what you can,asking for help from someone to drive you etc,to get a hold of your medication.
