For bystanders, I previously recommended kratom, which is probably one of the most interesting drugs that is legal in the United States, to gwern as a way to enter a highly motivated state. For me it seems to act as an ugh field off switch. You can buy kratom from an online store run by a Less Wrong user.
To answer your question, it’s not something you want to be using more than a couple times a week, and recently I’ve been experiencing some digestive problems (unrelated to kratom) which have made me reluctant to consume anything that isn’t food.
Sure, but unless your digestive problems started at the same multiple months period of demotivation, you haven’t answered the implied question, ‘why hasn’t kratom dealt with your problem at least every few days?’

It used to.
For digestive problems of all kind, I recommend supplemental enzymes shortly before meals. In some people, they work better than more harmful or complicated or expensive medical interventions. http://www.amazon.com/Super-Enzymes-Now-Foods-Tablets/dp/B002FK1NJA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1331024844&sr=8-3
I am curious is there any RCTs on the effectiveness of these enzymes?
Thanks for the advice, but given that taking some enzyme thing is what I suspect gave me the problem in the first place, I think I’ll pass for now.
