    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

    I hope you're right in this case a person has absolutely nothing to lose so they're going broken taking into trial and I don't know how I'm going to deal with it except for anti anxiety meds but I'll take it as prescribed until the day is done then get fuckered up

    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.
