• My issue is that I have bipolar disorder. I’d be worried about getting zapped into a permanent manic state.

    While I have had good bouts of mania where I’m super productive and accomplish a lot, I can also be severely agitated and aggressive, which is much more common than the productive episodes.

      I don’t know the specifics well, but yeah there’s definitely a chance for your brain to suffer psychological damage from taking it, and generally mental health disorders or family history of them are big risk factors.
