Interesting. i've had the same exact thoughts on what my biggest problems are-- though not in that order. My advice would be to try a stim and see how it effects you. Don't just try it once though. You'll almost definitely get some positive effects initially. But also see how it effects you when it is wearing off-- maybe the worst disadvantage of stims.
Also think about Provigil. i think it may be pro-cognitive. And if you feel like dealing with all the extra shinanana, try Parnate. i am on it now and though i don't particularly like it, it's definitely got some significant procognitive effects (and unlike stims, these effects don't abate and even get worse upon coming down-- cuz there is no come-down w/ Parnate).
And although same kinda crap but less so comes with coffee (caffeine) as w/ stims, you might try its blessed benefits. It has wonderful procognitive effects-- oh blessed drug. And there's lots of natural shtuff you can try to help you: e.g., gingko, ginseng, rhodiola, NADH, DMAE (or somehting), gotu kola, vitamins minerals etc.
Good luck to you.
