“Tramadol : Prescribed for disc issue for back, makes me feel more alert and better off, but I know that it's generally frowned upon in this sub”
“for about 6-8 hours I am content. Words flow easier, I have tremendously increased focus, thoughts are controlled”
“it's like zero depression for 1-2 days (yes, it is a dangerous drug)”

- The most addictive thing about modafinil isn’t euphoria - it’s functionality ↗
- Psilocybins effect on brain? ↗
- I understand it's not a nootropic, but taking Tramadol clears my mind, enhances my focus, makes me more social, eases my depression, and overall makes me feel normal. What can I glean about my own personal neurochemistry if it's so helpful? ↗
