That trope needs to die. Medication doesn't make me feel like a zombie at all. Not even a little bit. I'd happily take more of my liver could deal with it.

Your experience does not equate to all people. Lots of people have very serious side effects.

It's called being on the wrong meds, yes I've dealt with it and finding your medication for the myriad of ways ADHD effects brain chemistry is fucking terrible but finding the correct med and dosage is not gonna zombify you it's gonna feel like a you just had the best night of sleep and can finally just do something without fighting yourself.

And some people will never find that right med and need to deal with a myriad of side effects.

Your experience isn’t what others experience.
