I agree. Listen to your doctor. S/he must think you need to be on these meds for your sanity and peace of mind. And if taking prescription meds as directed makes you 'dirty' then I'm 'dirty' too, and I don't care what anyone says about that. If the meds help you keep from drinking, go for it. I wouldn't listen to anyone telling you that you weren't sober because you were on prescription meds. That's awfully harsh and narrow minded, in my opinion...
