I took anti-depressants for depression from about 6 months of sobriety until I had a year. I stopped taking them per my doctor's rec. after I'd been feeling better for a few months consistently.

I believe in calling a plumber to fix my pipes, a mechanic to fix my engine, and a doctor to fix my body/mind.

Medication is an outside issue and one that does not pertain to A.A. No one in A.A. - doctor or not - is a professional when it comes to health conditions and treatment. These are all referred to in the traditions.
