The drugs must unleash the id's repressor-filter and hence, render the person
vulnerable to ego-threatening impulses. Tasks requiring discipline and,
otherwise pleasing culturally embedded love objects, typically create
repression as a result of increased pressure from wishes that are represented
by the now, unwanted behavior. When the repressor-filter becomes more
permeable to forbidden wishes tied to mommy's breast; a side-effect of these
drugs, then oral cathexes become more wildly bizarre and may be evident in our
dreams. This may also produce a desire to talk more in class as well as
lip-smacking; both common iatrogenic symptoms that are actually due to the
drug's effect on the id's repressor filters. Alas, I wonder if the drug
companies would put this simple warning on the label?
Okay, I was just dreaming, fantasizing, teasing, funning, and covering
