My favorite weekly news magazine, The
Economist, weighs in on all the pharmaceutical goodies coming down the development pipeline:
...such drugs promise to do a lot of good. Many people already use Provigil to cope with night-shift work, jet lag and lack of sleep, and suffer few side-effects. Others use beta-blockers to overcome the anxiety and stress of performance. Scientists use off-label drugs to increase their focus. If that helps them unravel the mysteries of the universe, so much the better. If chemical assistance can help increase the useful human lifespan, the benefits could be huge.
The article is more philosophical than informative, but an excellent read nonetheless.
Valium is f-ing amazing as a chill pill however, and isn't dangerous like the beta-blockers can be.
Don't mess with your heart, go for a muscle relaxant; betas I'd say are best left prescribed by knowlegable doctors.
