Everything's a trade-off. Most people who take stimulants regularly would be far less likely to even make an effort or make a decision without them. It seems obvious that the quality of an effort or decision will decrease in proportion when you take away all of the additional indecisive overthinking an individual would normally be doing instead of, y'know, actually doing the thing. Again, that's the trade-off, and I think most people are behaving rationally when they accept that deal. Until clinical psychology cracks how to simply teach the skills of "not overthinking," "staying singularly focused," and "maintaining a bias towards action," it would seem that we're stuck with stimulants for the foreseeable future.
