I think one of the dangers of getting sober is we sometimes fear legitimately prescribed medication....with little justification usually outside of the fact they're a drug.

I don't know you or your case history but I think it's always advisable to see your doctor - explain your fears and listen to what he suggests.

Again, I'm not diagnosing you LOL but I really think sometimes it's ok to admit we can't make ourselves better - we're ill, and we need a doctor.

For myself, if you've been totally honest with your doctor about your situation and your past addictive history and you're advised to take meds, I'd do so

If they disturb you in any way, go back to your doctor and talk it through - or seek a new one.
