The in-game information for the Super Stimpak in Fallout: New Vegas lists two effects: "Super Stimpak Debuff" and "HP +24(3s)." What does the "Super Stimpak Debuff" part mean? There's not much info on the Internet about this yet, but my search came up with two theories:
- Even though Super Stimpaks do a great job of healing — and 24 HP/sec for three seconds is pretty good, no question — they actually end up damaging the player after a while
- Any status effects that are active get wiped away when a Super Stimpak is applied
Which of these two is right? Or is the right answer some other thing entirely? In the unlikely event that it matters: I'm playing the 360 version.

It refers to "Stimpak Sickness" a short duration -1 Str, -1 Agi effect applied by Super Stimpacks.
