New Meds and Overwhelm

Hmm... my suggestion would be to do 1-2 (depending on ADHD "allowance" and energy) small tasks a day and to make sure you celebrate accomplishing the tasks. When we reward ourselves - even for the "small things" - our brain takes notice and begins to want that celebration/reward for completing even the smallest of tasks. Eventually, you'll be able to tackle larger tasks as time goes on. Just be sure to reward yourself, even if you only finish part of a task. That reward could even just be telling yourself, "Good job, me, for getting that done!" Make sure, if you decide to tackle a larger task, you're done "borrowing energy" that you need for later or the following day. (I highly recommend checking out the Spoon Theory, if you haven't already!)
