Regretting Being Put on Meds at an Early Age?

Anyone regret being put on meds at early age? I was diagnosed with ADD in third grade and was put on Vyvance to help me focus in school, it helped but definitely hindered my ability to talk and make friends. Now I’m 21 and have no one in my life other than my roommates, can’t help but feel if I just stayed off meds things could’ve been much better.

I always hated being on medications growing up. I don’t even know what all they tried with me, throw it at the wall and see what sticks kind of tactics. I always felt like i was a zombie; just watching as my body did things and i would say things; just a passive observer to myself. When i turned 18 I went off of everything and it’s one of the best decision I’ve ever made. Of course this isn’t right for everyone, but that’s my experience at least
