I mean, isn't that part of executive dysfunction? As in you have a dysfunction of executing (starting/doing) something.

This is the very definition of executive dysfunction

I have this to an extreme degree. To like the point that Vyvasnse still doesn't make it better.

It's awful.

Vyvanse puts me to sleep. I had to switch to Adderall. Honestly wish I could double it but I'm already at max.
