Psychoactive drugs: information needed - please help

There is very little hard data on the relationship between Enneagram type and the effects of drugs such as antidepressants.

A few scientific papers have found that different personalities respond differently to drugs such as antidepressants.  These studies did not use the Enneagram.

Other drugs may also affect some personality types more than others, although so far I only have anecdotal evidence for this.

I would like to conduct an informal survey to find out if there are consistent trends that might be worth further study.  There are four questions below to answer.

I realize the information I am asking for can be quite sensitive and personal.  Hence, the form below is completely anonymous, and no personal information about you or your location will be sent to me unless you explicitly type it in.  There is no way for me to find out who or where you are. 

1. What is your Enneagram type? (please also select wing if you know it) 
    How confident you are of your type? 
    How confident you are of your wing? 

2.  What substances have you taken that affected your emotional state? (including but not limited to antidepressants, alcohol, stimulants, nicotine, painkillers, SSRI's, benzodiazepines, etc.).

3.  What were their effects on emotions (including side effects)?  Make sure to specify which drug caused which effects.

4.  Your gender? 

Thank you!
