I think if opiate doses are not excessive, and if the opiate is not too toxic (methadone) then motivation will likely be increased. I have heard it said of bupe, but maybe this is by comparison to methadone, that it is very clear mentally and not depressing. But I did some gardening on codeine, and I talked to strangers in the street on morphine (over the years). These positive motivating effects definately diminish over time, part of which I put down to methadone's toxicity, and partly to changes in oneself, maybe opiate receptors.
