Mental health medications are an outside issue. Unless you're abusing them, it's none of anyone's business in AA.

Some of us have anxiety that goes away once recovered. Some of us have anxiety that still exists even though we're recovered. That's between you and your medical doctor.

Just because someone is in AA for a number of years does not qualify them in any way to dispense medical advice!!
