This "love hormone" sounds like a major disadvantage to me. Why would you ever continue to trust someone who has abused you financially(or in any other way for that matter)? Doesn't that just leave you wide open? But this drug could probably prevent you from mistrusting people out of paranoia from past experiences who wouldn't do such things. So in that case I suppose oxcytocin wouldn't be so bad after all. I certainly would like to try some for myself in that case. Maybe I'll ask my doctor about this.
