Depends -- many people in my life know that I am {ahem} heavily medicated... But it depends on the person. I don't necessarily volunteer the information, but I do talk about it at times.
And, ironically, I find it easier to admit to Ritalin -- despite being middle aged -- than to the fact that I also take several antidepressants. (Although I do admit to Wellbutrin pretty easily. Just not the "Wellbutrin AND Prozac AND SAMe AND...)
Some people in my life don't ever need to know, and some people in my life have already made disparaging remarks about other people on psychotropic meds. I try to offer some education, but I don't necessarily say that I'm on 'em myself.
