Are you hyper sensative to medication??

If it can mess with my brain, I'm not doing it. Partially from observing drunk/high people, partially from truly horrible early experiences with having ADHD medications forced on me. Mostly because of the last one.

In a paper published in France by the High Authority of Health (Recommendation of good practice / Autism and other developmental pervasive disorders : diagnosis and assessment in adults), they told to psychiatrists that "An unusual response (either by the absence of reaction or by paradoxical effects or hypersensitivity) to the prescriptions of psychotropic drugs must also be considered as a call sign."
(I can't put urls, so for those who read french, you can google "Recommandation de bonne pratique, autisme et autres troubles envahissants du développement : diagnostic et évaluation chez l'adulte" and go see p.7 of the document).

I seem to be resistant to the effects of energy drinks, painkillers and antiemetics.
I'm building up a fair resistance to alcohol too, at least relative to when I was younger.

As for prescription medication, I wouldn't know, as I don't trust doctors... and thus don't take any medication I cannot purchase for myself without anyone else's input.

I had a shot of morphine, when I was in labour, which is supposed to reduce pain and cause a sense of euphoria. Honestly, I felt no change whatsoever. They could have given me saline, for all I knew.
