I keep my doses low just because there is much unknown about the drugs so it only makes sence to take as little as possible.
I am not saying that the drugs may have longer term cognative side effects, but I heard once from a crack user to never try the drug. Not because it is addicting, but because it shows you what you don't have, after you go back you feel deprived.
Another analogy I have is with glasses. Before you need glasses, your eyes strain really hard to see properly. They get quite good at it. You have little squinting techniques and such to be able to read things properly. After you get glasses, you and your eyes get lazy, and infact your eyesight gets worse then it was before you started wearing glasses.
I would reccoment omega 3 and phosphatadyl serine, both of which have been shown to help cognition after illicit drug withdrawl (so they may help SSRI related problems.
