great thread!
There are a lot of really good ideas being exchanged here. It's surely different for everyone to some degree, but I've had the delayed reaction effect of SSRIs too. One benefit is that it's an easy segue to ask for a little blue pill scrip, and to me a raging hard-on helps with inspiration to get to the finish line.
I've also done the "med holiday" experience totally on my own, which I would not recommend in the bigger picture. Yes, the juices were flowing much more easily, but overall there's too much at stake in the rest of your life to play around with it.
Lastly, alcohol and food (among other things) can bog things down as well. Some thoughtful planning and experimentation as described above should eventually lead to a good solution. Good luck!
