The main issues I have had with my illness( bipolar depression , add) is that of Motivation and procrastination. just being lethargic and not doing any work has not only ruined my work life, it also makes depression worst.

Medically I found most success in beating it with ritilin, but it made me manic , so that is no option. Nowadays I am on an antidepressant Wellbutrin (bupropion) and it has been somewhat helpful.

Non medically I try and trick my self into starting. Like thinking ok i will only work for 15 minutes than get back to what i wanna do. If i end up starting work, most of the times I find motivation to continue.

What techniques and medication do you guys use to mind motivation to work/Study?
