I would hope that the people in AA were really trying to let you know that some of them have experienced serious problems in this area when they have tried to use medication to treat a spiritual, not physical, malady. Whenever I am faced with this situation (very rarely so far) I take great care to be honest with my self and my doctor, and I follow the doctor's instructions to the letter.
