talk really loudly ab how bad you felt before taking meds and how much they've helped. if they care ab you, they might feel bad for talking down on medication (at least to ur face). sorry you even have to be in that situation tho :(

Not sure if my last post worked soooooo

Coming out of joke mode, my family was superrrr against me being on amphetamines for ADHD. Thinking that it was all a lie/scam. But they literally fixed my life entirely giving me all the focus I needed. Finally after yearssss of being on them they realized just how much they helped me and had basically zero negative effect on me.

That being said if ADHD meds make you feel GOOD/euphoic you are on way too high a dose, if you are on a lower dose and it still makes you feel good while on them, that's a warning sign to get off of them ASAP.

IF you really have ADHD your brain won't downregulate the amount of dopamine production when you give it amphetamines over time. BUT if you don't have ADHD you will have to take more and more to feel normal/function normally then feel worse and worse whenever you aren't on them. So you really really gotta make sure you have ADHD first.

So anyways time will probably reduce the stigma they have UNLESS the meds are actually bad for you.

That being said...

I dated a smokin hot pink haired cat girl gf I foolishly thought was sane at very first. But shortly after she would go basically CRAZY, like totally emotionally disregulated over nothing. Screaming at a car for going 4 over not 5 instead of just passing on the otherwise empty two lane road. Then going to dancing to her song 20 seconds later, then going to screaming at the song and smashing the next button then back to dancing. Just being TOTALLY irrational to anything at all. Especially if she drank. Anyways SHE GENUINELY THOUGHT THESE MEDS HELPED HER!!!! But they were making her actually genuinely psychward/asylum levels of literally chop you to pieces level insane.

So it's good to get feedback (even negative) from those around you on how meds are effecting you, especially when you are off them. It could save you. She basically ignored me telling her to never take those meds again though because she thought they helped her still. Anyways she took them and drank one night then threatened to cut my actual dick off on the phone because I made her tea (that she asked for) months ago (which means I went inside and left her...) lol!

Idk how old you are, but I would shut that down immediately. "Please stop talking about my personal health. I feel uncomfortable when you bring this up in such a public setting."

Hmmmmm, tough one. You could try flushing or destroying all the meds in front of them all. Then crash out and act insane then 60 seconds later be lovey dovey then go back to crashing out. Then be like "Oh would you look at that I missed a pill! Oh well, one for the road!" and you swallow it in front of them then act totally normal/calm lol

i dont have any advice but man, i hope your family learns to be okay with you taking meds. theres a reason your taking them after all
