I agree. It’s the same problem for me. Starting tasks is the real problem. Even without stimulants, a task I’ve put off for two weeks is often finished in less than an hour. It’s a lesson I expect to keep learning until I am dead.
The pill can help you maintain interest in something, not start that thing. I don’t have an answer to this problem. I’m 34. I don’t take anything for my disorder anymore. Either tolerance builds up, or the novelty wears off and my intention to start things declined as a result. And I end up back where I started but now I’m taking drugs everyday.
On my brother. I think that he doesn’t have ADD. That his issues at school were unrelated, and Ritalin just made him more anxious and neurotic.
