Supersonic and company, very interesting stuff. Many folks with legitimate ADHD describe their most prominent emotion as bein anxiety. I was diagnosed and I can say the same. I might have the brain power, but harnessing it, using it and organizing the thoughts within can seem impossible.
When I take a stimulant, this all goes away and I forget what it even felt like to be mentally disheveled. Interestingly, Gabapentinoids do the same thing. It begs the question, "is anxiety itself the main problem?"
Sonic, I wouldn't necessarily say Gabapentinoids have true stimulant properties, but they have powerful anxiolytic properties. My motivation, organization and thought processes are all set free.
So I guess it isn't so crazy to recommend Pregabalin for this purpose, especially prior to trying a CNS stimulant. Very interesting guys. Obviously, use as a study-aid a la Amphetamine would be completely off-label. Its use as an anxiolytic though is medically recognized and anxiety could be the root of the problem anyway.
Mankind not meant to feel that good. Haha. That is something I might've said before my first mega dose of LSD (Acid) at Furthur in Manchester, NH. It was the best I had ever felt, grooving to Bobby Weir. It was great.
However, that is obviously a different kind of feeling good. It's doesn't have that artificial quality that drugs inevitably have. I think we are all just looking for God. Is he a guy up in some invisible kingdom? Is God in every atom.
I think mankind is mean to feel good and that is what we are all after, happiness or our unique definition of that concept. Drugs are a great way to imitate being nearer to that being and/or feeling.
I think that's why drugs cause pain. They're not the way you're meant to find and be with God and experience ecstasy. Whatever God is, I think he wants us to experience ecstasy in loving and caring for others and having them likewise care and love for you.
That sounds pretty cool, but sadly, a lot of us dont have that kind of Love. Some of us are pretty far away from the light.
So when you say "mankind isn't meant to feel this good" it really strikes a chord with me. I dont think we are supposed to experience happiness by slamming Meth or Dope. I think man is meant to feel that good.
I guess what I'm getting at; the saddest thing is that I feel most of us know and can feel this. The drugs are just a substitute for love. Unfortunately, this type of happiness takes work and dedication. Caring about other people in a non-superficial way.
Mankind is meant to feel both good and bad. What we do is take the reins from nature herself and decide we want it now and in this exact way.
