Nice. I love ideas with the shape of “Consider trying this thing because the costs are low, even if you’re not sure if it will help or pretty sure it won’t.”
The main confounder I worry about is that I changed what I spent most of my time doing at work around that time, and I think that also improved my life.
Given confounders like this, it’d be great to see someone run a Gwern-style controlled trial on their Wellbutrin use. The value of information would probably be quite high.
It’d be sorta tricky to do given the on- and off-ramping effects of the drug, so perhaps should only be undertaken by someone with sufficient slack to accommodate.
