not.


I am not a physician but I'm sure that in any case, you will not get
your 3rd Class certificate immediately. You must be on the medication for
some months while submitting to evaluation by your physician. That includes
periodic BP measurements and blood tests. The BP is to see if the meds are
working and the blood work is to see that the chemistry is not destroying
your liver.
Do go to the AOPA medical info site and put questions to those folks.
Their job is to make sure you are correctly informed.
