Well... for each of the drugs I mentioned, my prescriptions already read "as needed". So if that isn't "self-medicating", I'm not sure what it is.
If you live at sea level but hike or drive to 10,000' every weekend for a few hours, will that help?
I've read where some people have said it helps them. There may be some acclimatization effects that last more than a week and carry you along. I would think spending 24 hours each weekend above 10k would be better than "a few hours".
