Answer: These conditions are often thought of as an imbalance. An imbalance that can be corrected by offsetting the imbalance, or, evening out.

But if normal people take them then it creates an imbalance which your brain reacts to, and tries to correct by offsetting.

Finally, researchers arnt sure about the causal mechanism that creates seemingly paradoxical effects.
