> People on ADHD medication become like zombies and no longer seek short term excitements that cause distractions.

Definitely not generally true.

Why do people continue saying this?

Because I have ADHD medication and have seen people on it?

Well, quite a lot of other people also take ADHD medication or has friends or relatives that takes them and no, not everyone becomes zombies.

A lot of people just get better lives. YMMW.
