Thanks for the info, I was missing an update on this space. If there's no solid, reproducible evidence of cognitive or energy benefits at this level -and full MAO‑A engagement seems necessary for those effects, then that doesn't look good.
About your second paragraph, I agree and I wasn't validating the bro part, just that I read about Emsam once. I guess it's mostly influenced by the popularity of performance enhancers in general, be it wakefulness enhancers, stimulants, etc. People are always trying to find "the edge", without the tradeoff, basically chasing a mirage.
Maybe a neglected topic in this theme has been the acetylcholine pathway. Cobenfy, for example, has been approved for treating negative symptoms of schizophrenia and it's not a classical drug in that space.
