Biopsychiatry.com, bluelight.ru, Illimnst, etc?
Often these sites and forums promote drugs outside of the norm of psych practice such as stimulants like provigil, selegine, nootropics like racetams and stuff like GHB.
Are these people kinda nuts and brain tinkerers? Are the drugs they recommend reliable solutions to long standing problems?
Can you base your decisions on those of psychonauts?
I guess i'm posting because sometimes when I see how many other drugs are out there that might help with some of my symptoms I get frustrated at the complexity. Part of me wants to demonize those drugs just so I don't have to worry about trying them. If i discredit I don't have to try. Thats pretty dumb, but sometimes the number of options and combos we have is overwhelming.
Its like this show "Sliders" where the characters are constantly going from one alternate universe to the next to get home. However there are infinite alternate universes. They would never get home if this actually occured. When I think about the number of options there are outside of conventional psych drugs prescribed in the US. I find it overwhelming. Its one of the few things that can actually make me feel anxious.
