Something we need to talk about
Take what I am saying with a grain of salt and do your own due diligence. That being said, for anything medical related, you should always seek actual medical professionals who are professionally and legally licensed within your area of need. That also being said, there is something we need to talk about. It is the 21st century, and we are promoting the idea of drug culture.
Too many social media influencers, gamers, and what not, are promoting neotropics and random OTCs to teenagers and a predominantly young audience. You have these fitness gurus promoting all sorts of creatine supplements, nitro boosts, and all that. It is at many times extremely irresponsible.
There are many random OTCs that in combination can cause comas or Serotonin syndrome. Lots of creatine might cause kidney problems or various forms of dehydration. You have many fitness influencers as well pretending to be completely natural or just taking creatine, that are actually taking way more extreme stuff in the background and promoting pill popping and their brand to an audience that looks up to them.
Other supplements or neurotransmitters such as GABA, may actually end up increasing anxiousness if taken at an unnaturally high dosage. Other side-effects could include sleepiness. Humans are not guinea pigs, and promoting neotropics to everybody isn’t a good idea. Not everybody has the same chemical imbalances, physiological needs, or attentiveness to certain problems.
Many multivitamins cause placebo. It is generally understood that many multivitamins don’t actually improve a person’s overall health or state unless they were actually deficient in that vitamin. Also, we are creating a whole generation of caffeine addicts (and trust me, even I think I will have caffeine after this article). What is up with that? Coffee and caffeinated sodas are one thing, but the much bigger problem is energy drinks. Unlike coffee and sodas, energy drinks try adding a bunch of “random vitamins” in the mix to promote the illusion it is good for you. Then you may have kids shaking or getting tremors later in life.
I was one of those people that fell into the OTC tarp and all that. I even had close calls, and to be honest, I even had experiences with some doctors who may have messed up as well. That said, before popping stuff in your body, you should always seek a medical professional and actually know how your body works. Lots of times, a bunch of young people take a bunch of OTC stuff, combine it with other things when it is just placebo, and then can put themselves in really bad situations. There are even guys that may have placebo and not have intermediate side effects but will have really negative side effects later in life.
As much as I am not a fan of big pharma and want people to be more natural, people need to understand that they likely don’t have the necessary knowledge on everything happening in the inside. I don’t know if you noticed, but doctors' study pretty hard. If you experience anxiety, talk to people, and try practicing thankfulness more. However, don’t just experiment with yourself at random. That is all I’m going to say.
