I wonder if rather than use an artificial chemical to alter our brains, we should try to find out what message our bodies are trying to send when we feel fatigued or stressed, etc.
I don't know. I've always been leary of the rush to use medication for anything, particularly when it's not necessary. I don't think I would do it. On the one hand I believe we are a very intelligent species with the ability to create these drugs that can enhance and heal us. On the other hand, I think we have created a lot of new, and possibly as yet unknown, problems by relying on artificial drugs. And that's in addition to the myriad of chemicals we are subjected to from industrialization, cleaning products, etc. It feels to me like we are altering our basic biology without knowing all the concequences.
If you do go through with it, let us know about your experience.
