Can I go to AA if I am on medication?
A.A. as a fellowship takes no position on medication a doctor has prescribed. The literature is explicit that medical questions belong with a doctor rather than with the group. Nobody in a meeting in Santa Barbara is in a position to alter a prescription.
Will I be asked to say anything in front of people?
Not a word, if you would rather not. Nobody is assessing whether you joined in. A bigger meeting is easier to be anonymous in than a small one.
What does a sponsor actually do?
The informal half of how any of this works in practice. Nobody is assigned one. You ask, and they can decline, and often will suggest someone else. You do not need one to go to your first meeting, or your tenth.
