That will probably get deferred to Oklahoma City. They will definitely

want a
statement from the doctor who prescribed the meds to the effect that

you've been off
them for however long you've been off them and that you no longer need the
medications. That second part is important; if his/her letter doesn't

contain such a
statement, get another letter. If you have any test results related to the

condition
that have been taken *after* you quit taking medication, get copies of

those, too.
Give copies of all of this to your AME. Keep copies for yourself in case

they get
lost.

Two years without treatment seems to be the FAA's magic number for many

such
conditions, so I'd guess that you won't have much trouble, but there will

almost
certainly be some delay.
