Oh by the way, I kind of disagree with the psychologist you mentioned, who said that motivation would come naturally from the medication. I think it’s possible to feel better in general, and then maybe you enjoy the processes even if they are boring. But i think that the cognitive deficits are never going away, no matter how much medication you take. And the experience of remembering what to do, when to do it, and why are all governed by the frontal lobes and the executive processing. Even your sense of self, as a stable self-construct, is damaged through the descreased activity in the frontal lobes (ADHD in a nutshell). So you tend to lose a sense of yourself in relation to your projects, which to me sounds like a classicly nerdy way of saying “I lost my motivation” (i.e. your sense of self being IN that project, that the project makes you feel more accomplished or whatever).
