I have this discussion with my kids: would you take a drug that would reduce your IQ 20% but would guarantee that you’re happy for the rest of your life? Please no one argue about the relevance of IQ (we can just call it intellect).

To me, that’s a no-brainer. Make it 50%, and I’d still take it. Heck, I’d give you a million dollars for it. (As long as I could do it without putting a burden on other people.) What the hell good are money and intelligence if they don’t make you happy?
That would’ve been my answer before I had a family, anyway. If I could take that drug and still (in my newly borderline-retarded state) give my family the (non-monetary) support and guidance I want to give them, then I’d still take it now.
