Quick question for anyone that uses meds to balance their lives out. Does it have any negative side effects? Like does it make you go numb?

I'm a writer with social anxiety disorder that makes me completely shut off around groups because my brain chemistry gives me this sensation of feeling high or extremely tired. Sort of like being out of body. I've gotten rid of my negative thoughts, for the most part, but the feeling of that high still holds me back. I'm a writer though, so I've gone my life unmedicated because of my fear that it'll numb me and ruin my creative side that's become my profession (close to selling a script to Warner Brothers).

Basically asking, does medication numb you or just target certain aspects of your chemistry that helps you day-to-day?
