Taboo reliable. Sure. I hold the opinion that psychiatrists cannot predict that a given drug will improve a patient’s long-term diagnosis, and that psychiatrists/psychologists cannot agree on what condition a patient is manifesting. I agree that we have no tools to know when or how they’re unique. I’m taking the perspective that the (admittedly very biased individual) should consider trying available options with low entry costs and demonstrably unimportant side effects, to see if they are unique snowflakes like those few in the study. The costs seem low and the potential upside high when considering psychological augmentation via off-prescription nootropics.
Good point on the endocrine condition. Very similar situation to what i’m trying to express. Probably a better example than mine.
I’m trying to figure out if bias in the case of the consumer who doesn’t have access to prescription medication is enough, if you have a perspective of ‘try the otc thing to see if you get the same positive outlier result, if not, discontinue.’
