>They have in my personal experience. My rapid cycling tended to flatten out. My mind didn't race at all. I slept more soundly. But stims made me very cold, aloof, and very quiet, yet oddly anxious. My head was quiet-but I just felt very tense. People would question me a lot about why I was so quiet.
