No I don't have em confused cause i just researched it also
In public statements, especially to newcomers, Scientology claims that medical drugs are fine and says there's no problem with
Scientologists taking drugs prescribed by a physician.
However, in materials presented by Scientology front group
Narconon, they claim that all drugs are poisonous and remain in the body permanently - claims that are thoroughly discredited by modern science.
Psychiatric drugs are seen differently: Scientology forbids the use of all psychiatric drugs, and works to prevent non-Scientologists from using them as well. Scientologists are vehemently opposed to all forms of
psychiatry - not just for themselves, but for everyone.
Although Scientology publicly states that they don't interfere with individual Scientologists taking prescribed medication, several former
members have reported being told to stop taking prescription drugs and suffering negative consequences if they went ahead and kept taking them. Since these drugs were prescribed for serious medical conditions, including
epilepsy and
Grave's disease, these individuals were at serious risk if they stopped taking the medication.
Finally, Scientology claims that taking aspirin interferes with forming mental images, so participants are forbidden from getting auditing for 24 hours after taking aspirin.
