I've found that while it's good for studying hundreds of pages of BS, on a timed exam it actually ends up hurting because I write out my train of thought until it runs out.
I'd think that writing a few more paragraphs "can take me another 5mins, tops." Then time goes by and my time allocation will have been terrible. For example, on a test with two questions equally weighted, I might spend 3hrs on question 1 and not realize I only have an hour left on question 2.
The product is very much a stream of consciousness rambling.
I've heard people describe it as if I had "horse blinders on," "perseveration" where I'm unable to move onto the next task, etc. My thinking being "boxed-in" instead of "outside the box."
It's great for reading meaningless text but when it comes to actually writing essays, I either can't begin or I start writing and overthink every single sentence. Then I let out a flood of thoughts that seem coherent in the moment (probably because of the medication's ego boost) but afterward makes me think WTF?
