Silly thought, but I wonder to what extent drugs would facilitate the process of adapting to new body parts.

I was thinking at first, I would guess that older patients likely have less adaptive reception, while younger patients undergoing limb-additive surgery would seem to be more likely to have the brain adapt to the mechanical limbs. But we can't exactly test extra limbs on youth ethically, thus the drugs. Lol.
