Depending on the evidence that is being sought/offered from you, it may be entirely unnecessary for you to testify. On the other hand, you may want to testify and, depending on the case, you should seek to present testimony/evidence from a competent physician as to the effect that it may have upon your testimony. There are several ways that this can be addressed through litigation, all of which depend on the underlying case and how you are a party to it.
