Welcome to PB lpslps...
There are others here with much more expertise on psych meds than I, but I'd like to ask a perhaps impertinent question: Do you care about what you are studying in your PhD program? I'm an old academic, so I've seen a lot of this sort of struggle over they years, including my own. What you describe sounds like avoidance -- something depressed ADHDs like us are absolutely expert at. I don't know what you're studying, but unless it's pharmacology or biochemistry, it feels to me as if you are using a focus on your medications -- and on psych meds in general -- as a strategy for avoiding the work you are supposed to be doing.
I don't mean any of this as criticism -- it's just that I have been in a similar place. All I'm trying to do is suggest that there may be psychological issues as well as psychiatric ones at work -- at least that is what your description suggests to me.
