Shit, sorry man thats never fun to deal with. I know from experience that I'm able to muddle through tasks out of pure willpower when unmedicated. If you excercise a lot then you probably have a decent control over your willpower. I contracted a bad case of covid recently and I stopped my meds for a month while dealing with that. You will probably experience joylessness and lack of motivation for some time while your brain finds a new homeostasis, but its not that bad. I do a "quit-everything" dopamine starvation every couple of years to reset and its only horrible for the first week or so and then it just becomes the new normal. All the best for sorting out that blood pressure!
