Thank you for that. Given my somewhat addictive personality, High anxiety and tendency to constantly experience extreme nostalgia for the past, I’m probably best sticking to caffeine as my stimulant of choice for daily use, with nicotine being my recreational drug of choice. I feel that I could benefit a lot from amphetamine in terms of focus and getting tasks done. however, I think I once read that the nostalgic tendencies I suffer from, was not necessarily harmful, an indicator that certain drugs like stimulants could be more addictive. although I’ve never tried amphetamine, I’ve heard that one of its unique effects is to produce a sense of optimism and an “I can do this attitude“, as opposed to drugs like opioids which just produce relaxation and euphoria. this motivation/optimism component of psychostimulants really appeals to me. however, it’s also the one I fear most because I know that’s probably what would get me addicted to stimulants if I was able to try them.
Just want to thank you again for your responses which help me out so much. Please excuse any grammar/spelling mistakes, I’m blind and using a screen reader which has unfortunately developed a glitch and now it won’t read to me what is in the text field until I’ve posted it.
