Has anyone heard of this drug? Would you be willing to take it?

I'm generally quite worried about drugs since taking my anti depressant. i want to know whats in it, what side effects will come, what its like to come off them and long term effects.

However, if this dug was pushed in my face I would take it without any questions. Hope that answers you :)

This is kinda creepy if you think about. What if parents start forcing their children to take it even if their social isolation was just shyness? That is just my concern of course. Hopefully parents would be smart enough to not treat this a super cure for their kids' eccentricness.

A very fair point mate.

I am looking at it through Adult eyes, however. If I feel something could help me to build a better life and better handle obsessions and my interactions with people I'm all for it. I live my life hating the man in the mirror because I can't have mates I care about with pissing them off more often than not.

I would never take that pill we don't know the long term effects they use us as lab rats
