1) I was walking home from the library the other day. I was on the sidewalk at a Y-junction. I guess a driver had taken his eyes off the road and the car hit the curb and jumped up onto the boulevard. He jerked the wheel and the car pulled away. The thing was, it was about 4 feet away and headed right for me, and if he hadn't grabbed the wheel I probably would not be writing this now. There was no reaction that would have saved my life had the car continued. The thing was, I felt calm the entire time; normally I am a pretty jumpy person... so I am wondering, does piracatem have any cortisol- or adrenaline-reducing effects? It sure as hell seems that way.
2) I'm taking piracatem/hydergine right now and really like them. Do any of you notice a drop in creativity when you take ritalin/straterra? The reason I ask is that I took Paxil once and found it dumbed me down, a terrifying effect. I know these drugs are very different, but I know a lot of people who have taken both so this perhaps leads me to equate the two in my mind. I love nootropics as they only enhance my creativity. What effects does Strattera have?
Thanks for any info.
