Anyone else feels more stereotypically autistic while on stimulants?

I definitely get much more in my head and overthinking everything that I say when I take meds. Which makes socializing much less fun. On the other hand when I don't take them I am more likely to blurt out the first thing I think which can also be bad.

I experience less anxiety pressuring me to create conversations. The result is that I more confidently refrain from participation.

I don't consider this making me more autistic, but rather helping me to mask less / accept what I really want more.
