Reliable website on psych meds?

Does anyone know of a reliable website to get info on psych meds specifically from an addictions perspective? I'm a little concerned with how my current psychiatrist wants to change my meds around, and while I know I'm not a doctor I don't think she has much experience at all with addiction. She's said some things that are totally opposite of what my addictions psychiatrist said, but I don't know if that's because she has less experience or because I'm a much different person now after 2 years of sobriety. She seemed surprised by some of my concerns though, and that has me more concerned so I want to do some research myself. I obviously don't want to take any chances with this. I really miss my addictions psychiatrist but unfortunately my insurance changed so I'm not able to see him anymore.

"The bloggers on this site include people with lived experience, peer specialists, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, program managers, social activists, attorneys, and journalists. While their opinions naturally vary, they share a belief that our current system of psychiatric care needs to be vastly improved, and, many would argue, transformed."

That's some copy paste from 'about us' on the Mad In America site,

Mental Health Advocacy, News & Resources | Mad In America

Here you will find an alternative views that include recovery from mental illness.
