I have to use one. Without it, I can't focus well at all.
Other than that,

*High Fives* Caffeine helps with focus. I would join the street community if I were forced to take any chemical whatsoever.

Hydrocodone helped me deal with the pain after I had my molars pulled out

I considered doing something more on the natural side (like aspirin) when I had an oral surgery so I couldn't properly open my mouth for a while. Didn't do the painkillers they prescribed, though.

Aspirin isn't strong enough, when you have my metabolic rate only prescriptions work

Which is what I did. I could only drink through a straw afterward. It was a full 2 weeks before I could eat properly, and yes, I did have to clean out two infections post-surgery.

I'm a biologist, I don't do infections, I follow my training and do everything to prevent infections in my body, it's something worth taking care of

The primary thing people tried to get me on meds for was depression/anxiety. I didn't tell them that I can hear spirits. I nearly got put in an asylum over that crud and decided leaving was a better idea.

It's been a whole year since then and it makes my stomach turn when I see kids get put on drugs when they were just lonely.

And I've learned to prevent most infections now. When you've lived in a shelter, you kind of have to.

My meds have done nothing but help me, if I'm feeling lonely I talk to someone, depressed I write it down, angry I workout

Exactly! I text someone and draw often. I feel drugs are just the lazy way out.

I only use medications when necessary. But I have a blood problem and might need them. Sometimes I believe that they are necessary. My mom and dad both have big issues and are kept alive by prescription drugs.

Start of college.
Even if not, I know someone who's facing that situation.
