I'm on multiple psych meds including a benzo and am an alcoholic. My addictions Dr., who is normally totally opposed to benzos says it's fine for me to be on one, because I have a legitimate anxiety disorder, it's prescribed by a reputable psychiatrist and I take it strictly as prescribed and don't abuse it. She says she considers me sober.

I've run into grief from some AA members over taking meds, but as far as I;m concerned the only people whose opinion matters are my Drs.
