Do you lose credibility if you're taking anti anxiety medication as prescribed during testimony in court

If you are a witness, it probably won't come up unless you aren't used to the medication. Your medical information is private without a warrant.When I did hear it come up, the judge asked the defendant, and relied on the defendants judgment.

Anything can be used against you. It's a matter of how the opposing lawyer convinces the jury to think about you.

no it wouldnt as long as u are clear in your thinking and the drugs do not cause any impairment to your cognitive ability
all u are doing is giving evidence and if that evidence is clear and compelling u will be believed regardless of the medication
