Yup, I totally agree.  Can't take the mind-numbing, thought-slowing, ADHD-producing, synapse-mushing meds.  I have tried several--mostly of the anti-seizure category.  They didn't work, anyway.  Currently, I have to exist on opiates (4 times a day which is better for me than the long-acting ones) because of spinal stuff, which makes me sound like a really big sissy . But those work OK, and I can fight through the sleepiness I get after an hour and emerge without changing my lifestyle or personality.  Fatigue, I can work around.  Being a medication-induced Froot Loop, I cannot.
