"..It definitely overrides natural feedback. My experience has been unoptimal. It definitely gives me an initial caffeine type high for the first 2-3 hours, then after that I can tell that I am locked into my head. It becomes difficult to access physiological resources.
I am experienced with accessing states created through my physical body such as summoning energy simply by putting my body into a more confident posture, etc. As well as consistently listening to what excites me the most in any given moment.

I can definitely see how this may help for studying dry facts and logical content, but it definitely decreases what I can only call emotional intelligence.

Such as impatience, resistance, lack of empathy, and ability to remain open emotionally."
