Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.
I read you query and understand your concerns.
Post traumatic cognitive difficulties with lack of motivation and deficiency of executive functions made me to believe that you can helped with medication as they are the cheaper alternative to rehabilitation with proven track record in such situations.
In your case I think either modafinil 100 mg or armodafinil 50 mg can be tried to improve the motivation and cognitive functions. I must made it clear that medication tends to help as long as it is continued but rehabilitation helps you through out your life.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
