This! Or having “rare” stuff happen to you. Curious, has anyone else who’s ND had bad or “paradoxical” reactions to meds?

We actually learned in class that people with autism are more likely to get side effects from medication. The article was on autism so idk if it’s also true for other neurodivergencies. Personally, I am very very prone to akathisia and had to be restrained once after being given iv reglan. I’ve also had mild serotonin syndrome but that was expected given I was on 3 different SSRI/SNRIs 😭

It’s called children’s mental health but we read a lot of articles about treatment including pharmacological treatment
