Workplace. I am a typical overachiever with a lot of goals for myself, and I guess I'm afraid this drug will hinder those. From what you're saying, it sounds like you really do get 'sharper' on the drug.
q: Do those inhibited feelings go away after about a month? What is BL on the stuff? Or do you basically have to settle for 7/hours day of (supposedly increased) 'brain time'? Perpetually?
Interesting thoughts.
