No, not if it (all) med(s) are part of your recovery program and treat what they are supposed to - I KNOW that my drug regimen is a necessary tool in my sobriety kit.

I say that as someone who works closely- and is honest with!- her psych, especially about the ativan she prescribes. I also take seroquel (quetapine) for sleep, lamictal (lamotrigine) for what are now very minor BPD symptoms, a low dose of paxil (paroxetine) for depression maintenance, and campral (acamprosate) for cravings. I'm 17 mo sober and we have adjusted meds along the way as needed.

Taking care of myself and doing everything I can to bolster and secure my sobriety is absolutely OK- necessary- in my book.
