Happy Drug?

Gents,

Any recommendation for drugs that make you feel happy / high / boost your mood?

Currently have a mix of drugs (caffeine, creatine, modafinil, propranolol, etc) for performance, but none of them gives a feeling of 'happiness'.

After working at peak performance for quite some time, things start to get 'plain', really need that extra boost to get going for the long term!

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

You could try phenibut-- I like it and take it once or twice a week for a subtle mood/confidence booster but you need to be careful not to go overboard. Less is more I think and avoid if you have an addictive personality because it isn't really safe to take every day. Definitely a very interesting supplement with a cool history-- Russians invented it as an anti-anxiety drug for their cosmonauts during takeoff that wouldn't impair their cognition like a benzo. Perfect for a high-pressure presentation imo
