A Pharmacodynamics Novelty

I am a pharmacodynamics novelty
Pills and drugs have an opposite effect on me.
Stuff that puts others to sleep for days
Barely keeps me in a simple haze.
Drugs that bring others rapidly up,
Knock me out the second I sup.
My brain must be somehow out of whack.
I am a pharmacodynamics hack.
One important fact I dare not smother,
These drugs do the same to my mother.

Maybe this is because you are quite the child of nature and your body simply rejects what it cannot recognize...

They gave me one teensy tiny yellow valium once in a hospital, and I was up and flying around for three days and three nights, finally crashing happily. I am not good at pills, but am so glad I am not the drug addict I should be.

Fun to have the same body dynamics as your mother

And we have the same blood type too.
