By the way my Psychiatrist is a pilot and feels I am safe to fly provided I
take my medicines daily and I do...
But, I do need some clarification.
A medical certificate is not required for soaring is what I have been told
reguardless of medications or illness provided the pilot feels he can fly
safely.
I have never heard of a list of medications which bar a pilot from flying
gliders...
However I have done some research and read the FAA won't even issue a medical
to an applicant on unipolar depression so I did not plan to apply to face
certain rejection
Also, however, I am wondering if these psychotropic medications don't cause
problems with heatstroke and dehydration
I was hoping maybe an annonymous person would step forward and say they were
flying and it was not a problem
Lithium, Effexor, and Zyprexa are the ones I have taken for over two years
Also, by the way, my Pyschiatrist said getting back into flying would be an
excellent anti-depressant
