What I have read is not that his medications made him "high", but that they tend to make you agressive and over-confident. That was what the people around him that knew were worried about while he dealt with the crisis. Fortunately, JFK kept his head and it didn't play out that way, but apparently it was a real concern--that nobody dared share. I'm not at all sure how many people on his national security team knew anything about this at the time.
