Disclaimer: Neither a doctor nor a lawyer nor HR. In my opinion, it is probably not appropriate for the manager to suggest a drug unless you asked their opinion. For sure, they could not prescribe it to you or require you to take it.

You might ask them why they feel you lack focus. If they do not have a good answer, then perhaps you could request a skip level 1:1 with their manager, or if you feel that is a no-win, you could speak with HR, or decide to let it go. You know your work environment better than any of us and would have to weigh the pros and cons. I agree with others that say this doesn't always end well.

I know my self than my manager, my lack of focus, was because the work i was doing, super boring. My manager took all the "cool" decisions and make us struggle with that. So no motivation at all. But there is always a pill to solve our problems lol
It sounds like you made the right decision to find something better.
