I typically avoid using drugs for merely relieving or suppressing symptoms.

This page is a stub, created on 2020-04-18 (last updated on 2022-01-16). Its contents are notes on the issues and angles I want to address about this topic.


There's a lot to say on this topic, including

  • wanting to experience the consequences of my choices
  • making sure I still have a signal of something that might be wrong (instead of risking greater injury)
  • creating a dependence on pharmaceuticals
  • when I will take drugs
  • the connection to not numbing emotions
  • uncalibrated emotions and "chemical imbalance"
  • connection to depression
  • connection to medical causation
